Quick take
Flexible silicone tubing in 11 bright colors for creating segmented fly bodies and adding detail to fly patterns.
This Tigofly set packs eleven pieces of soft, hollow silicone tubing, one in each of eleven colors. Each piece runs about 10 inches, with a 1/8 inch inner diameter and a 3/16 inch outer diameter. It suits fly tiers who build their own flies and want a spread of colors for bodies, legs or tube-style patterns at the vise.
