Hi Tel, have a look in the trade classified adds above and go and look at Platinum Tackle. Check out his boxes. You can pay 25-35.00 for slotted boxes but these are almost identical for 1/4 of the price. The quality is superb. The man who runs the business has been poorly and I am not sure if he is back in action yet, worth the wait though matey. Hth.

Chris

Another vote for the vuefinder boxes dropped one on the first day I had taken it fishing and it floated long enough for me to fish it out with my landing net, saving me about 24hrs worth of tying time to replace the flies.

Another vote for the vuefinder boxes. I've also got a couple from platimun tackle which are also great.

24hrs to replace the contents of a vuefinder???? it would take me 24months to replace some of my boxes!!
