If you put a logo on it and put “fly fishing” in the description somewhere, you could charge $50 for it… just like scissors! Saw a pair at a brick and mortar store for $2. Exact same pair but with “fly fishing” on the package, $30. Exact same pair… so I DIY as much as I can do I’ll be making this sweet box. Thanks for the post.

In reply to Aaron A. Thanks Aaron. I chose the 6mm craft foam purely from an economical standpoint. Super cheap and easy to replace in the future if need be. Ben

Great idea, and well done! You know, the pink isn’t really that bad.

Out of curiosity, why did you choose the slotted foam over the ripple foam (other than expense)? You can buy “boat patches” (12″ x 16″) of ripple foam for around $10.

Did the same thing a while back, but with a different box. The latches on those ones drive me crazy. Sure saved me some money. http://www.livingflylegacy.com/2012/10/diy-streamer-fly-box-boat-box.html
