D&J Design Modular Fly Packs

Singularity and Trifecta

Is this your wish-fulfilling fly pack?

If you've ever wished your fly pack could be built around the way you fish, your wish is granted.

Start with a base pack. Add only the bits you need. Change it whenever you want.

Two base sizes
Add tools any time

Most chest packs come as one fixed thing. You pay for pockets you never use. These packs come bare on purpose. The body is waterproof and tough. The front and both sides are covered in soft loop Velcro. So you stick on the tools you want, where you want them. Move them tomorrow. Take them off next season.

How it works

STEP 1
Pick your base

Two packs. The Trifecta is deep and holds three fly trays. The Singularity is slim and holds one.

STEP 2
Pick your flies

Choose your trays. Every tray fits every pack, and the travel case too.

STEP 3
Pick your tools

Nippers. Tippet. Phone. Line winder. Stick them on. Done.

The harness

The whole harness pulls off the pack in one go. No tools. No fuss.

At the bottom of the harness there's a loop. Clip a quick-release magnet to it and your net rides on your back, ready when you need it. Once you've done it a few times you stop thinking about it.

The harness and dock come with both packs. The magnet does not — that's your call.

The waste tippet holder

The Singularity has one built into the base as standard.

Most competitions ask for one now, and it's just the right thing to do. Old tippet stays with you instead of ending up in the river, wrapped around a bird or a fish.

Fly trays

Every tray fits every pack. Same tray, three homes: Trifecta, Singularity, travel case. Buy trays once.

Which rows?

The 8 row tray suits sizes 16 to 20. It's the one most people start with. Big flies can be a squeeze in the top row, so if you fish bigger patterns, take the 6 row. Same foam, same spacing, just more room per row.

One side or two?

Double sided trays hold the most. Single sided trays leave headroom above the fly, so bushy dries don't get crushed.

Every tray is 148 x 128 x 18 mm
Tray slides out of the pack and into the travel case.
Travel case, closed, with wire handle

Travel case — 5 tray

Keep five spare trays in the car. Waterproof, and small enough to sit in a bag.

Swap a tray in seconds when you move from the river to the dam. Trays only — pick the ones you want.

Stick-on extras

Each one comes with hook Velcro on the back, cut to size and ready to go.

Stainless nippers docked on magnetic base
Nippers Dock
Stainless nippers with a line cutter tucked inside. A magnet holds them in the dock so nothing rattles while you walk. Most people run it on the right side, within easy reach. The cord is hi-viz orange for a reason — if it snags on something, you can see what it caught and free it fast.
SKU ACC-NIP-001 · 31 x 56 x 20 mm
R268.00
ACC-WLW-001 — 1:1
Waste Line Winder
Wind up old tippet fast on a big arbor. Drop old hooks and tungsten beads in the top — magnets in the removable base hold them until you empty it.
SKU ACC-WLW-001 · 54 x 67 x 20 mm
R172.00
ACC-WPD-001 — 1:1
Waterproof Mobile Phone Dock
Your phone rides on the back of the pack, out of the way. You get three parts: the waterproof case, the printed dock, and a stainless steel wire lanyard. The phone slides in and friction holds it. If you want more than that, a cam lock at the top pins it in place — once it's locked, it takes real force to get out. Fits phones up to 6.9 inch.
SKU ACC-WPD-001 · 180 x 118 x 19 mm
R710.00
ACC-TH6-001 — 1:1
Tippet Holder, six spools
Both fit both packs. Six spools on a Singularity, three on a Trifecta — your choice.
SKU ACC-TH6-001 · 155 x 147 x 23 mm
R325.00
TIPPET HOLDER 3 SPOOL — 1:1
Tippet Holder, three spools
The three spool version is about 12 mm deep. You barely know it's there.
SKU ACC-TH3-001 · 155 x 147 x 12 mm
R210.00
FTM-FOAM-001 — 1:1
Fly Tray Mini, Foam
A small tray for the flies you're using right now. Three foam rows, 24 flies. Sticks inside or outside the lid.
SKU FTM-FOAM-001 · 50 x 59 x 10 mm
R97.00
FTM-MAG-001 — 1:1
Fly Tray Mini, Magnet
Same size, but four strong magnets instead of foam. Drop a fly on it and it stays.

More on the tippet holders

Takes any spool up to 67 mm across, so TroutHunter fits, and so does Soldarini even though it's a touch bigger. Stack it on the phone dock, or mount it straight to the pack.

The lid peels off, so your spools never snag on anything. It also keeps the sun off your tippet, which matters more than people think. Foam at the top does two jobs: it stops the tag end vanishing back inside the spool, and it seals out the last of the light. Pull out a bit of line, feed it through the hole, then through the slot in the foam. Done.

Both mini trays fit the Trifecta lid. They do not fit the Singularity lid.

Build it your way

Three anglers, three Singularities, three different packs.

BUILD 1 — CP-SNG-001 — 4:5
Bare bones. Pack, tray, harness. Nothing else. Light as it gets.
BUILD 2 — CP-SNG-001 — 4:5
Slim setup. Add the three spool tippet holder on the back. Almost no extra bulk.
BUILD 3 — CP-SNG-001 — 4:5
Full kit. Phone dock plus tippet holder on the back, nippers on the side.
BUILD 4 — CP-TFC-001 — 4:5
Or go Trifecta with three trays, the phone dock and the six spool holder. Same parts. Same system. You decide.

Why it's built this way

Waterproof, not water resistant.
The body seals. Rain, spray and the odd slip won't get to your flies.
Tough enough to lean on.
Carbon fibre reinforced polymer. Light, and it doesn't flex when you press on the lid to tie on.
Velcro, not fixed pockets.
Loop covers the front and both sides. Move a tool once, or fifty times.
One tray, three homes.
Every tray fits every pack and the travel case.
Buy what you need.
The base packs come bare on purpose. You're not paying for a pouch you'll never open.
Two tips from the workshop
Stick your floatant on properly.

This Velcro is strong. Strong enough to peel the label right off a floatant bottle. So take the label off first, wipe the bottle down with isopropyl alcohol to lift the grease and glue, then stick the Velcro straight onto clean plastic. Do that and it won't let go.

Tie your phone to yourself.

The dock holds well. Rivers still win sometimes. Use the lanyard.
