Gear Review: Fat Bluegill’s Small Bugz Fly Box
Gear Review: Fat Bluegill's Small Bugz Fly Box
The Fat Bluegill’s Small Bugz Fly Box has over 200 slots for your dry-flies and nymphs plus four wire midge holder/threaders. I’d say it’s good for dries up to about a size 16 or 14 – much bigger than that and you’ll be squishing the wing or parachute post when you close the box.
The overall quality is good – but here’s the kicker: They only cost $7.99! That’s compares pretty favorably to the cost of the C&F Midge boxes (they’re about 1/7 the cost of a comparable C&F box). The C&F boxes have a little edge regarding fit and finish – but at that price…
While I can’t speak to the durabilty of these boxes – I just got mine this season. I can say that they seem to be a great bargain. I’m not going to say that they are the equal of the more expensive fly-boxes but, at that price, I’m pretty happy with them.
Fat Bluegill’s offers several other fly boxes and many other products too.
