The Fishpond Tacky Pescador Fly Box (Medium MagPad) is a popular choice among fly anglers for its waterproof design and silicone anchoring system that keeps flies secure. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:
Key Features:
1. Waterproof & Durable – Made with a rugged, sealed construction to protect flies from moisture.
2. Silicone MagPad Anchoring – High-tack silicone lining keeps flies firmly in place, even in rough conditions.
3. Medium Size – Offers ample storage for a variety of fly sizes (ideal for nymphs, dries, and small streamers).
4. Clear Lid – Allows for easy visibility of contents without opening.
