This is an absolutely cracking little accessory box capable of carrying  enough
smaller items like swivels, links, small hooks, beads and the like to get  you
by through a weeks normal fishing, and the whole thing fits inside a typical 
shirt pocket.
The Magic Box measures just 3.75 inches long, 2.5 inches wide and just over  an
inch deep, or in metric 100mm x 65mm x 25mm. It divides in to two separate 
sides and folds together book style. Both sides have three small and two larger
 compartments. These have transparent plastic clip down lids. To give you an
idea  on size the smaller compartments will take up to 50 smaller size 6
swivels, with  the larger ones anything up to 30 size 4 swivels or 50 size 5mm
plastic beads.  With 10 compartments per box that's one heck of a lot of kit.
The box is also  ideal for small hooks, flies etc.
It is  made from tough plastic with a secure all plastic flip over snap closure
that  will not spring open when carrying. The hinges are plastic with a simple 
stainless steel pin. There is literally nothing to corrode on this box and I
can  see it lasting many years if not a whole lifetime with sensible use. The
box  also has a lanyard connector at one corner for extra safety when wading.
The Magic Box is available in green, yellow and blue, but both the yellow and 
blue seem just about impossible to get inside the UK. It retails for about 
£7.99.
Available from all good Mustad stockists.
