The PlanD Pocket Articulated Plus Fly Box is a compact, purpose-built fly box designed specifically for storing articulated flies — the style of fly that standard foam or clip boxes simply cannot accommodate. Using Plan D's patent-pending dual-retention system, it holds up to 16 articulated flies securely, keeping hooks sharp and materials in perfect condition between sessions.
Why You Need a Dedicated Articulated Fly Box
Articulated flies — streamers, pike flies, tube flies, and large salmon patterns — are notoriously difficult to store. Standard fly boxes crush materials, tangle hooks, and damage carefully tied patterns. The PlanD Pocket solves this with a stainless steel hook bar for the eye of the fly and slotted foam for the trailing hook, holding each fly individually and securely without contact between patterns.

PlanD Pocket vs PlanD Pack
The Pocket is the compact version of the PlanD range, designed for anglers who want to carry a focused selection of articulated flies without bulk. If you need to carry a larger number of patterns, the PlanD Pack offers greater capacity. The Pocket is the ideal choice for a day on the river or a coastal session where space and weight are at a premium.
