The Montana Fly Company (MFC) Maddox’s Brown Trout XI Poly Fly Box with Slit Foam is a durable and functional fly box designed for anglers who need organized storage for their flies. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:
Key Features:
1. Material:
– Made from high-impact polypropylene, making it lightweight yet tough enough for rough handling in the field.
2. Slit Foam Interior:
– Features pre-cut slit foam that securely holds flies in place, preventing them from shifting or falling out.
– Ideal for dry flies, nymphs, and small streamers commonly used for brown trout.
3. Compact & Portable:
– Designed to fit easily in a vest, pack, or wader pocket.
– XI (11) model suggests a specific size—likely holding a moderate number of flies (exact capacity may vary).
4. Secure Closure:
– Snap-latch or magnetic closure (depending on model) to keep flies safe and dry.
5. Brown Trout Themed:
– Part of a series tailored for specific species (brown trout in this case), possibly with foam color/design optimized for trout patterns.
Ideal Use:
– Great for trout anglers who want a no-fuss, durable fly box.
– Works well for small to medium-sized flies (size 12–20 hooks).
– Suitable for both freshwater and light saltwater use (check corrosion resistance if using near salt).
Alternatives/Comparisons:
– Tacky Fly Box: Similar slit foam but with stronger magnets.
– Fishpond Tacky Fly Box: More premium, with customizable foam.
– C&F Design: Waterproof and higher-end, but pricier.
