I'm sitting here looking at my C&F fly boxes. I have quite a few of them that range in price from 34.00 - 49.00. Although I love these things for their size, weight, and well... the overall design on quite a few models tend to make things pretty convenient too, they are pretty damn pricey! For those of you who don't own one of these toys, you get a 100% Plastic shell with foam inserts. I'd have to say that each box could probably be made with the same amount of plastic as 1 or 2 two liter bottles of coke. Let's see, that's .79cents per bottle on sale. Take the Coke out and the bottles alone I'm sure are a fraction of that cost. As for the foam... It holds my flies nicely. Occasionally a fly or two will be out of place, but it's so rare that this happens, I'm not sure it's even worth mentioning.



Anyhow, I personally can't see the total combined foam in all of my boxes, costing more than say.... .25 cents? So maybe I'm exaggerating a bit. Whatever the cost for the materials, R&D, and I would say advertising, but how often do we see advertising for this company? Very rarely, right? So, are these boxes worth 34+ dollars? Considering I just got done raving about light weight and convenient they are, I'd have to say that they are worth every penny of the 34+ you'll pay for one.

How many of you own these boxes and what are your overall opinions on them starting from cost to features and functionality.

Once you get over the cost, how could you not love these little things?
