I'm curious as to why you dont like them. I think the 66 version
works great. The 60 (with the individual clips) is a pain but the 66
with the rows holds my flies nice.




I believe they hold water far too well, promoting rust. I always felt that
is was far too difficult to remove flies with barbs, and they're useless
below about a size 12 or 14, which are about the biggest dry flies that I
have any use for around here. They're also relatively heavy.

Couple that with the fact that I like comparmented boxes (and yes, there
are cheap plastic ones without spring loaded tops for about $12) that don't
crush hackles for dry flies, and very low profile slit foam boxes for
nymphs.

I guess the only advantages I find that the 66 has over your average, run
of the mill, riffle foam box is it might hold barbless hooks more securely,
but there are alot of negatives.
