Homemade Flybox Tip

Airborne · 11-26-2003, 07:56 AM

I have been getting AOL disc in the mail

and they come in a really nice tin box, I simply glued in a piece of foam and it works great, I'll post a picture of it as soon as I can. Almost looks professional...

I do that with the altoids-type tins that Fisherman's Friend lozenges come in. The lozenges are wicked strong and beat vicks to a blue pulp as far as effectiveness, too.

Fred Meyer is the only local place that carries them here, and since they have two flavors, I can have two different colored boxes... perfect sized for pockets.

now thats even better since the lid is hinged, disregard my post and use this....

No question the Fisherman's Friends are more effective, but the Sucret's box is plastic so better flotation and rust-resistence AND it has a little clear window in the lid for fly spying.

Although you might learn how NOT to anchor a db, you just don't see many great tips like these on the 'other' thread. :grin:

I've got a cool one. I take my fly boxes and keep sucrets, AOL CD's, and Altiods and keep them in it, works like a charm! :grin:

Great tip. My wife is an Altoid addict so I can get all the boxes I want.

The Fisherman's Friend lozenges are very effective and a source of amusement in the truck when my daughter and her friend want a lozenge just because I have one in my mouth. It usually takes all of 3 seconds before the lozenges are launched out the window with a chorus of moans and groans.
