I recently went to Cabelas and picked up a fly box to use as my jig box and here are some pics.

The foam ones work ok. I tried the all metal ones and had problems with hooks rusting.

I was on a bus and just happened to be sitting on a news paper. This guy came up and asked. "Are you reading that ?"
I said  yes, stood up, turned the page and sat back down.

Not to mention, the kind that sink if dropped into the hole. Mine will float, saving all of those expensive jigs. Allot of one and two dollar bills get stored in a small box.

I have the largest cabelas box like that but with the nubbies. Every square mm of the box has a jig. Over 400 before I stopped counting. They are nice boxes.

I picked up a couple of the inexpensive fly boxes at walmart with the clear front and spray painted them black so the glow jigs aren't always glowing...they work pretty good. Now I keep the small jigs for perch and crappie separate from the laker/ling jigs.
Remember...just cuz you arent paranoid...doesn't mean they're not out to get ya!!

Just a heads up, that style of box works decent with most jigs, tungsten jigs however seems to easily dislodge while moving around. One outing of having all my tungsten bouncing around loose everytime I opened the lid was enought for me. I think it has to do with increased wieght to hook size ratio.

I use the Umpqua UPG Fly Boxes for both ice and fly fishing. For me, they seem to have the best latching system. I must have a dozen total, a few in each size.

I like the ones custom jig and spin sells . I have 3  big ones totally filled 2 clam boxes and 7 Plano boxes full 4 of them full of jigging spoons and chubbies .  But almost 30 yrs of ice fishing it adds up  ;D
