Has anyone had experience with any of the 3 Fly Fishing Monthly Subscription Boxes that are available? Postflypostflybox.com/The Fly Packwww.theflypack.com/Monthly Flywww.monthlyfly.com/Or know of any other fly fishing monthly subscription boxes? If you are not familiar with the monthly subscription box, it is package of flies (or in the case of The Fly Pack, fly tying items) that are sent directly to you on a monthly basis like a magazine subscription. What you get sent is based on criteria (Trout, Match the Hatch, salt, Bass, ect) you fill out at the time of the subscription and it is meant as a way to expand your collection or expose you to some new items that you normally would not buy. The boxes here range in price from about $9 or $15 per month to depending on what kind of subscription you choose. The biggest draw to these boxes is the value, you pay $15 and they ALWAYS send you at least $20-$25 worth of items. I currently use several other fishing subscription boxes and I have found them very useful in terms on value for your money and new items that I do not have in my collection or available to me in Canada. Since I am relatively new to fly fishing I thought this may be a fun way to try out some new items too! Thoughts?

I've looked into these but decided I was too cheap.

Maybe try doing a search on youtube for this. I have seen several of these for gear guys with videos of what they got in each months boxes. Some of them looked pretty good, I'm sure the contents were more value than the subscription, even if you threw half of the box in the garbage.

Ya that was the first thing I tried as I have seen many from other fishing subscription boxes. But I could not find any unboxing videos....

Then you're left with "how bad could it be" for that money.
I figure if they want to stay in biz past a year they have to provide value and or uniqueness.

The packages look pretty good... but I'm too cheap to pay that much extra for shipping off the one site.
