Snowbee aluminum tube fly boxes

In the world of fly tying and especially tube flies the larger issue has always been how to carry and store them...Snowbee has a new Tube fly box out that I think will answer much of that and those issues...
These will retail for $38.00...but to FFBC members we will do an introductory issue of 20 boxes for $26.00...

Wow nice fly box. Is there any boxes for the longer tubes (hard to tell length in pic) like say big steely flies and such?

All tube fly boxes have the same issue for really large patterns...however,most of the tube flies are good.
Personally I really like large Intruders in high water and ocassionally in low water for the same reasons...but have had to carry them seperately..
But I am re-thinfing the entire need for such huge flies...lately I am landing more Steelhead and Trout on smaller heavier flies.

As I was saying in an earlier thread...holding tubes is difficult and many boxes hold the tube from the front end...but these tubes seem to slip off.This system uses a different approach to holding the tube from the back end with a spring action,less s;ip and better drying...nothing is perfect but convenience has it's price. I like this box for many reasons but most importantly it is easy to carry and may keep me from bringing too many flies.
So,my wet flies will still have to be carried seperately though...for me anyway
