Currently using the one supplied with the greys vest ,foam with the velco backing the velcros fine as i can rough up my seals fur more ,but im not impressed with the buisness side seem to lose too many flies on the foam side i know i should really just put em back in my box but sometimes time is of the essence with rises that suddenly go dead etc ,what do the rest of you folks use?

Problem with foam patches and barbless hooks is like you say : you lose too much. Been experimenting with neoprene but that isn't much better. Think I'll get out one foam side of a cheap, small plastic fly box and drill some holes in it. Takes a bit more time to stash them and to dry as well I guess but at least I won't lose them anymore.

Regards,
Johan
