well first i will not have just one box. I will have a box for tied sorted by size and primary color...another box for plastics with tails by color and jig heads sorted by sizes, a third box with jigs on a foam pad that are for quick access that was my go to's or ones that I am planning to use unless conditions make me go back to the primary sort boxes.

I am a very unorganized person, I usually just thow everything in together and sort it out on the water.

When I do organize, i usually put them into a fly box with foam and try to put like jigs together (same color patterns). and I usually have a couple of these boxes.

O don't look at the micro bar-flasher's in 2nd pic! cover your eye's A.W.!

[Nightprowler]

Those are some nice looking micro bar-flasher's. Can I get the material list and tie instructions? thank you.


I store some of mine, capps/coleman rigged with a 3-way swivel. Then wrapped around a swim noodle. I'll slow verticle troll. I can swap out color combos if the bite drops off.

I do mine in plano boxes also but by size then color. then I take out what I need in my tackle box to replace what I lost or wore out. Those I store in bug luggage I love the way they look and stay neat in those cases

which one's you want the tie'ups on prowler.

I find a foam fly box is much better for me than only tying 3 of one pattern and dedicating a whole slot in a tackle box for it that's 10 times too big.

If you get it down to 8 or 10 patterns you really like then I'd use tackle boxes, but half the fun to me is making new patterns and seeing if they work. I always make 3 or more of a new pattern in case you lose one.
