Finally, an ultralight fly box that isn't made of foam or plastic!

Travel the backcountry in style and still keep the weight down. Made from lightweight and renewable bamboo, these boxes weigh in at a mere 2 1/4 ounces each.

Whether it's a day trip to the river or a multi day backpacking trip, this super light box will help shed some weight off of your pack. Each box is handmade using a bamboo laminate product and finished with pure tung oil and wax, ensuring that the box will hold up in all weather conditions.

These boxes are sold exclusively to Tenkara USA and are available for purchase through their website at the link below:

A note from Daniel W. Galhardo, founder of Tenkara USA:

"Tenkara USA is the first company to introduce the Japanese method of fly-fishing, tenkara, outside of Japan. Tenkara is a method of fly-fishing which uses only a rod, line and fly. Dispensing with a reel, the method lends itself well to minimalism. All one needs is a rod, spool of line, tippet and a box of flies. After a long time searching for a fly box, Tenkara USA has decided to offer the boxes made by Pontillo Furniture Concepts as their quality in workmanship is very obvious, the use of bamboo as its main material lends the boxes a look fit of tenkara, and the end-result is a small yet great tenkara fly box."
