Product Information
Full details
The Snowbee Classic Fly Box is designed for fly anglers who prioritize reliability and organization in their tackle setup. Its high-capacity, double-sided design allows you to carry up to 235 flies in a compact form factor that fits easily into a vest pocket. While the polypropylene shell is exceptionally durable and crack-proof, the box is a manual-opening design without magnetic seals or waterproof gaskets, meaning it is best suited for dry-fly storage or general fly organization rather than extreme wet conditions.

FAQs
Is this fly box waterproof?
No, the Snowbee Classic Fly Box is not waterproof. It is a standard clamshell design without a rubber gasket or magnetic seal.
Can I attach this to my fishing vest?
Yes, it features two lugs on the front specifically designed to be attached to a neck lanyard or a retractable zinger.
What is the maximum number of flies it can hold?
The box can accommodate up to 235 flies, depending on the size and type of patterns you are storing.
Does it float if dropped in the water?
While the plastic construction makes it lightweight, it is not guaranteed to float. Always ensure it is secured to your lanyard or stored safely in a zippered pocket.
Is the foam replaceable?
No, the ethafoam is a fixed component of the box. Proper insertion of hooks will help maintain its condition over time.
Troubleshooting
Hooks feel loose or fall out of the foam
Ensure you are using the pre-cut slits provided. If the foam has been punctured too many times in one spot, shift your fly storage to an adjacent, unused slit.
Box hinge feels stiff
Clean the hinge area with a soft brush to remove any grit or debris that may have entered from the stream bank.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To organize your flies, start by inserting hooks into the pre-cut slits in the ethafoam; avoid piercing the foam itself to maintain its longevity. If you intend to use this box with a neck lanyard, ensure you use a locking clip on the two front lugs for a secure connection. For maintenance, keep the box away from direct heat sources to prevent the polypropylene from warping. If the box gets wet, open both sides fully and leave it in a shaded, well-ventilated area to allow the foam to air dry completely before closing. To clean the shell, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth; avoid harsh solvents that could degrade the plastic finish.
