Jig and fly storage on the cheap

[Jubs]

I just wanted to show how I have been storing my flies and jigs that I have been tying up. I found a Isis brand photo storage container at Costco for $15 and it has 12 boxes in it to store 4x6 pictures. I bought a big package of sticky back craft foam awhile back and haven't been using the sticky back stuff so I figured I would put it to use. Plus I am cheap and don't want to spend $200 on fly and jig storage!

The storage boxes i started using is a VHS box with some junk foam hot glued inside. Dang, you make my system look like s#!%!!!! Very nice work.

How does the craft foam hold up with the hooks going in and out? I had some that ripped apart after only once or twice putting a hook in it. It doesn't look anything like what you are using though.

BTW - Awsome dragon flies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys, glad you like it! As for the craft foam I would do it differently I think next time. It holds up but not as well and I had hoped and if I did use it again I would double layer it to be able to get some more bite on it. I had an idea before for what to use but I forget now lol.
