The Zyn Fly Puck Thing You Saw on Instagram
That little round thing clipped to someone’s pack with flies stuck to it that looked suspiciously like a Zyn can?
This is that thing.
It’s called the Addictive Fly Puck, and it’s basically a way to turn an empty Zyn can into something actually useful while fly fishing.
That’s the whole pitch.
So What Is It, Exactly?
Short version: it’s a magnetic insert for empty Zyn cans that holds flies.
Longer version: it lets you switch flies mid-river without digging into your pack, opening a fly box, or doing that awkward shuffle where everything feels harder than it should.
You pop it into an empty Zyn can, clip it somewhere convenient, and stick flies to it. That’s it.
No affiliation with Zyn and No Zyn can included.
Why This Exists at All
Empty Zyn cans pile up. Anyone who fishes and uses Zyn knows this.
At some point I started tossing random stuff into them. Split shot. Indicators. Whatever needed a place to live. And eventually it hit me that the can itself is kind of perfect.
Waterproof-ish. Durable. Small. Already in your pocket
Fly storage was the obvious next step.
Standing mid-river, no one wants to:
- Dig into a bag
- Open a fly box
- Put everything away again
I just wanted the fly I took off to go somewhere smart and be easy to grab later.
So I made this.
How It Works Without Making It Weird
Here’s the non-technical explanation:
- The Fly Puck fits into an empty Zyn can
- Strong magnets hold flies securely
- Flies dry while you fish
- You grab one when you need it
That’s it. No ritual. No system. No “modular solution.”
It just works.
“Isn’t This Kind of a Gimmick?”
People usually think two things at first.
One, that it comes with a Zyn can. It doesn’t. You already have one.
Two, that it’s a novelty. Well, kinda?
The magnet strength is legit. The fit is intentional.
Fly Fishing Doesn’t Need to Be So Serious
This isn’t ultra-technical guide gear.
It’s not trying to replace your fly box.
It’s not here to make fly fishing feel more important than it already is.
It’s just a small thing that makes switching flies easier and a little more fun. And honestly, fly fishing could use more of that.

It also happens to be a really solid gift if you have a fishing buddy who always has a Zyn can on him.
