Leland on the C&F Design Small System Compartment Fly Box
If a fly shop can keep all its flies in compartments why can’t you? The C&F Design Small System Compartment Fly Box gives you the option to do both, use compartments for, say, small hard to handle wet flies and then match an insert to carry your dries or maybe even some threaders! That’s what so wonderful about the C&F Design System fly boxes; you can mix and match the inserts to suit your fancy! The 8 compartments are sealed with a single lid and are slightly larger than an inch square. Needless to say you can fit a lot of flies in them and still have the insert side to spare. The small size easily fits in your shirt pocket for a quick trip to your local haunt. Life for the minimalist just got a little sweeter, see you and your C&F Design Small System Compartment Fly Box on the water!

Which insert do I take? You already have the compartments filled with nymphs or maybe even dries so which insert, the 5-row, the 7-row or how about the threader? The 8 compartments are more than one inch square and are excellent for small nymphs or dry flies. All the flies in the compartments are protected and kept in their place via a spring loaded lid, no accidental spills here! The spring clip in the base accepts any of the small (FSA1500) series inserts, so your options are endless. The rigid polypropylene construction stands up to more punishment than you should exert on a fly box and the small size at 4.9" x 3.7" x 1.3" makes it easy to store several boxes in your vest, tackle pack or your shirt pocket. The C&F Design Small System Compartment Fly Box is my personal favorite, simply for ease of compartments.

Leland on the C&F Design Small Fly Boxes and System Boxes
For the minimalist or for those that like complete order over their fly boxes, the C&F Design Small Fly Boxes and Small System Boxes and Inserts are the just what the doctor ordered. By using their patented Micro-Silt Foam (MSF) and downsizing box size the designers at C&F Design give you all options needed to fill a vest, tackle pack or just a shirt pocket. The MSF is designed for easy fly insertion and removal without the tears and rips associated with standard foam boxes and once this foam gets a hold of your fly it isn’t going anywhere!
The Small Boxes and System Boxes and Inserts will fit in any pocket or compartment in which you deem to be the proper storage of the day. The System Boxes and Inserts give you the options to mix and match streamers, dries and/or wet flies; simple switch inserts as the need arises. The Threader Boxes allow you to preload flies to increase your speed of fly replacement and least not we forget the ease of threading tiny eyes with tiny tippet. There is C&F Design Small Box or Small System Box for all occasions or need.
Leland on the C&F Design Fly Boxes
The C&F Design Fly Boxes, made to the highest quality specifications in Japan, are considered by many angling experts to be the best, most functional fly boxes you can buy. They are light, strong, and rigid to withstand impact. The Waterproof models, in Medium and Large sizes, not only protect your flies from corrosion with a durable silicone gasket and powerful locking mechanism, they are so strong, I wouldn’t worry too much about accidently stepping on one!
Each size C&F Box allows you to either custom select and interchange the type of foam panels you want to match your fishing for that day, or come in a wide selection in each type to suit your style of fishing. Whether you need a trout box for organizing and protecting tiny dries and nymphs, or a robust box to keep the salt off your favorite flats flies, C&F has your number.
The patented C&F Micro-Slit Foam has revolutionized foam-type fly boxes. The Micro-Slits hold fly hooks very firmly if dropped, or in wind, yet are extremely durable since the hook rests between the foam, not in it, so the foam doesn’t get torn up. Once you experience the attributes of a C&F Fly Box, chances are that you’ll dump your other fly boxes in favor of C&F’s!
