Title: Made a Jig Box for… me!
Post by: jurelometer on June 29, 2026, 11:00:17 PM
I've been designing and printing custom fly boxes and various gear and rigging boxes, mostly for friends and some members here.  Decided it was time to make something for myself again.   I wanted a right-sized box for taking my jig designs up to Port Hardy for my  visit with  our member Hardy Boy.  I prefer permanent dividers over removable ones, and since I know what I plan to put inside, I don't have to compromise.

I ended up going with a comic book/graphic novel style for the artwork.   It is supposed to be a Canary Rockfish. More dramatic than my normal graphics, but I sort of like it.

Printed out a matching o-ring seal out of flexible polyurethane filament,  The box is very water resistant, but not enough to stay watertight under submersion for a long  time.

All loaded up with my own jigs.
