Box for Pike Flies

I bought a bunch of pike flies. About half of them have heavy mono weed guards on them. I have a White River (BassPro) slotted foam fly box for them, but the weed guards prevent them from going in the slots.
The box is 4 x 7 1/2 x 1 and I'd like to stay in that size if possible to fit in my vest pocket (Yep. I still use one).
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Matt

I wear a vest even when wading the salt water and my big fly box goes down the front of my waders
Just be sure and wear a belt :eek:
I've always thought that you never actually need a fly bigger that 7" but I like to carry a few with built-in wire traces so length can be an issue.

My fresh water flies with mono weed guards can get tilted to the side in the box.
But even flies that I tie with a double weed guard don't get mashed up too badly hooked upright into the foam
