Quick take
Fine-diameter copper wire in eleven colors for fly body construction and weighted patterns.
This Tigofly set packs 11 spools of fine 0.3mm copper wire in assorted colors, each holding roughly 15 to 20 meters. The thin gauge suits ribbing and body wraps on small nymphs, midges and other flies. Pick it if you tie your own flies and want a range of metallic and bright shades in one kit.
Best for
- Building weighted nymph patterns and deep-sinking flies
- Dubbing bodies with metallic sheen and natural movement
- Creating segmented patterns that mimic insect bodies
Skip if
- You tie streamers and small dry flies primarily
- You prefer thread wraps over wire bodies
Strengths
- 0.3mm diameter is fine enough for delicate fly work
- Eleven colors cover metallic and natural tones
- Copper wire adds weight for deeper dives than thread alone
- Generous spool length supports many fly-tying projects
Trade-offs
- Wire can be stiff and harder to work with than thread
- Copper tarnish may require sealing to avoid color fade
- Overuse of wire on fly bodies can make them too heavy
