Quick take
A 12-color pack of 40-yard spools of fine silky nylon thread for wrapping fly heads and bodies.
This Tigofly pack holds 12 spools of silky floss in a bright color assortment, about 40 yards on each spool. The strands are fine, around 0.3 mm across, which suits tying salmon and trout flies and bodies. It gives a fly tyer a wide spread of colors to work from in one set.
Best for
- Building dry and wet fly patterns
- Tying delicate fly heads where thin thread is an advantage
- Fly tyers starting out who want a complete color palette
Skip if
- You only tie streamers and large patterns; heavier threads may be better
- You prefer single-color thread and need many yards of one shade
Strengths
- Silky nylon provides smooth wrapping and minimal slippage
- Fine 0.3 mm diameter is ideal for proportional fly heads
- Pack includes a wide range of colors for pattern versatility
Trade-offs
- Fine diameter can break easily if over-wrapped
- 40-yard spools may run short for prolific tyers
- Nylon thread absorbs water and loses strength when wet
