I lost my streamer box a couple days before the close of the season.
I'm going to buy a new one this winter and fill it up so I've been
shopping. I found the CF boxes well made but too pricey for me. I've
pretty much decided on the Morrells due to their lightness, price and
durability.

I have a big CF box w/ split foam in one side, and compartments in the
other, picked up at Gander. I think its too big and heavy. I just picked
up a few boxes, clear lid, split foam on one side, at Coleman's. These
will hold a ton of nymphs, and they are much skinnier and lighter than my
CF box. I haven't seen anything like it on the web, but I think Carls
supplier is Angler Sport Group (dealer only). They don't have this box up
on their site. I haven't tried this box yet, cause I'm too lazy to move my
flies over, but I'm anxious to.

I've pretty much switched over to CF and Morell boxes. My vest has 4
CFs. Expensive yes, but Harry, if you sell them cheap, I can mothball my
Morells ;-)

For big streamers, I use these boxes:

Similar to the way CF boxes hold flies, but this foam holds it a lot
more securely.

Morell, they're cheap, light, float and work well. I like to save as much
weight as possible in my vest. A light vest is much more comfortable
than a heavy one.

I have several Aquafly and really like them, but they are bulky for what
they hold. I am also a buddy of the guy who makes them so am a bit biased.

I think the C&F boxes are the best on the market these days but don't own
any as I have more flyboxes than I will ever need and am too tight to spring
for them.

I like the C&F design too. There was an article last year in a fly
fishing mag. Sorry but I don't remember which one. They discussed
about 10 or so different boxes. They liked the C&F too. You can get
extra pads for them. I plan on getting some extra pads for specific
types of fishing, say bass/blue gill fishing. They pop in and out
easily. I have two boxes and plan to get one more.

The compartment boxes mentioned in this thread DO hold a lot of flies
and I tried them but it seems the fly that I wanted was always on the
bottom of the bunch.
