The Montana Fly Company (MFC) Udesen’s Brookie Poly Fly Box is a durable and functional fly box designed for anglers who prioritize organization and protection for their flies. Here are its key features:
Key Features:
1. Slit Foam Insert
– Features pre-cut slit foam that securely holds flies in place, preventing them from falling out while allowing easy access.
– Ideal for dry flies, nymphs, and small streamers (best for hooks up to size 10 or 12).
2. Durable Poly Construction
– Made from high-impact polypropylene, making it lightweight yet tough enough for rugged fishing conditions.
– Resistant to cracks, UV damage, and water exposure.
3. Compact & Portable
– Designed to fit easily in a vest, pack, or wader pocket.
– Dimensions typically around 5” x 3.5” x 1” (varies slightly by model).
4. Secure Closure
– Features a snap-latch or hinged lid to keep flies secure, even if dropped.
5. Udesen’s Brookie Design
– Named after or designed in collaboration with a notable fly tyer/angler (possibly Tim Udesen).
– May include artwork or branding related to brook trout (“brookie”) themes.
Best For:
– Anglers who fish small to medium-sized flies.
– Those who prefer foam retention over magnetic or compartment-based boxes.
– Stream and trout fishermen who need a reliable, no-fuss fly storage solution.
Alternatives:
– If you need magnetic storage, consider the MFC Magnetic Fly Box.
– For larger flies, the MFC Streamer Box might be a better fit.
