Foam Boxes for Tungsten Jigs
 
I'm sure this question has been asked about a million times but the AO search function is giving me grief.

What foam boxes do you use for your smaller tungsten jigs?

I have this one: https://www.rapala.ca/rapala/fishing...-/Jig+Box.html

It's the best one I've come across.

I just use old fly boxes. Nothing fancy!

Those Rapala boxes look nice, and they're in stock at the site I usually order from... Though I am tempted to just order a couple of fly boxes from the Fishin Hole. Do you guys find they tend to stay in place in the foam? What's the difference between slit foam and rippled?

I've owned both the fly boxes and the Rapala one. The Rapala one is extremely durable, whereas I've found the fly ones to be fairly brittle. Both will get the job done.

I find the rippled to be much better for small jigs and blades(cicadas etc). Hold better.
The clear plastic type are brittle. Get the other non clear, they are not indestructible but better than the clear.

Small spoons and spinners work great in ripple fly boxes. Keeps them neat and tidy and can be thrown in glove box for when a opportunity you cant pass up comes a long.
