Fishpond Tacky Double Sided Daypack Fly Box
INTRODUCTION
If you are ever in need of something compact like those old metal wheatley boxes but brought into the modern age then these are the boxes from you.
Gone are the old style tacky boxes as the company has been sold to Fishpond USA a major player in the fly fishing industry , known for its robustness and quality.
The old style daypack was thinner plastic and of course had the clear lid which was of course a serious scratch and fingerprint magnet and was only single sided, the new boxes are of a thicker plastic double sided with a pleasing spearmint green silicone instead of the pale blue from the first generation.

SUMMARY
i would now say that whilst Tacky was a global success story in reinventing the fly box these new generation boxes under the Fishpond Flag are a great improvement over those originals whether you are the minimalist fisher just wanting to take one box full of your favourites , a travelling fly fisher who always wants to keep a box in car, or if you just want to squeeze another box in with those ones you might just need, these boxes are twice as nice.
