Haven't used the SA boxes, but *some* of the C&F boxes are waterproof and
gasketed. I think they're a bit bulky, and certainly pricey, but OK. I
like the slit foam.


I've used these too ... and agree, bulky ( but they hold a lot of flies,
especially if you add a center panel ), too pricy ( but several hundred
rusted flies ain't cheap ) and they work fine. I too like the slits, I use
100% barbless hooks and the slits is the only storage system I've found that
works with them

I DID have one box that started leaking. I think I had damaged the gasket,
but you couldn't see anything wrong. Even though I bought the box in
California, Blue Ribbon Flies in W.Yellowstone called and got me a new
gasket and gave it to me .. for zilch .... damn good people at BRF ( normal
disclaimers, I'm not connected in any way except being a pleased customer )

When you close any of the gasketed boxes ... squeese it a bit, helps with
the waterproof
