Many inquiries were made in the last year in regards to the fly locker that I had posted online on the seatback of my Flycraft. It’s not everyday you get a piece of gear named after you, was kind of surprised to be honest, but our original name was deemed moderately inappropriate so I kinda understand why.
A couple of seasons back I had spoken with Scott Hunter, the owner of Vedavoo in regards to building this little gem. The most important attribute in my eyes was the lockers ability to come apart easily from the seat attachment so that the fisherman could quickly remove it from his raft or drift boat and bring it inside or on place it on the dash of their ride to dry out their flies. If some of you recall seeing the front passengers side dashboard of my truck, you would remember seeing the large pieces of 6 mm foam that I used as drying racks for my flies after a days fishing.
Protect the investment; the flies are as important as your rod and reel and there is nothing worse than tying some flies that could last multiple outings only to have rusted hooks because you put them away wet. The Strolis Seatback is the answer, and it saves way more time than having to pull all your flies off the foam patch you have in your boat; just unlatch the velcro and take the whole wallet off the seat and put it on your dashboard or bring it in the house. I love mine, if you need something like this for your boat, I highly recommend getting your hands on one; or maybe two to have a back up plan.
Scott and his crew will make them in whatever color you choose, and there are a whole pile of accessories you can add to hold your tippet, tools and heck even more flies. To see more about the Strolis Seatback, check it out here: https://vedavoo.com/product/strolis/
