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.

Best for

  • Tying nymphs and larva imitations
  • Creating realistic segmentation on realistic fly patterns
  • Adding color variation to custom fly designs

Skip if

  • You tie traditional dry flies only
  • You prefer thread-based body materials

Strengths

  • Silicone is flexible and durable; it mimics segmented insect bodies
  • 11 color options let you match natural insects exactly
  • Easy to thread onto hooks for quick body construction

Trade-offs

  • Silicone tubing adds bulk compared to thread-wrapped bodies
  • Beginners may find it difficult to handle in a vise
  • Silicone can slip off the hook if not secured properly
