Slit Foam & Slit Silicone Fly Boxes - How To Use

When we pop open our customers fly boxes we get to see exactly how their being used. One thing we've found, very often, is the slit foam and silicone in many fly boxes is being used incorrectly. The slit foam allows you to "back in" your flies with the bend first to avoid piercing the material - this translates into a much longer life for your box as the material stays intact and keeps your hooks secure for longer.

Watch the video and find out how to take advantage of the slit foam and silicone in your box.
