The Hareline NB377 costs $18.06, the priciest of four Hareline fly-tying materials compared here, but it backs that up with 550 reviews at a 4.2-star average and a bought-last-month figure of 50+, the only product in this group with a documented recent-demand number. That combination points to a steady, frequently repurchased tying material.
Check price on AmazonFly tyers who want a white fly-tying material backed by the largest review base in this comparison, 550 reviews, and clear evidence of ongoing purchase activity at 50+ bought in the last month.
Skip it if $18.06 is more than you want to spend on tying material, since the Elk Hair covers freshwater work for $3.95, or if you want the single highest rating, since the Fishing Fibers scores 4.6 stars.
4.2 average across 550 owner ratings
550 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other fishing gear and tackle we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Picture restocking a fly-tying bench before the season starts and reaching for the one material that keeps showing up in the cart, the kind with hundreds of reviews and steady monthly sales. The Hareline NB377 fits that description: a white fly-tying material weighing 0.25 ounces, priced at $18.06, and the only item in this Hareline comparison with a documented bought-last-month figure of 50+.
At $18.06, it costs more than the CDC28 ($7.95), the Fishing Fibers ($9.85), and the Elk Hair ($3.95), making it the premium option of the four by a clear margin. The listed specs are minimal: a white color and a 0.25-ounce weight, without a stated technique or target species, which suggests a more general-purpose tying material than the narrowly labeled CDC28 or Elk Hair.
On review data, the NB377 leads the group by volume with 550 reviews, more than the CDC28's 359, the Fishing Fibers' 133, and the Elk Hair's 110 combined. Its 4.2-star rating sits in the middle of the pack, above the CDC28's 4.0 but below the Elk Hair's 4.5 and the Fishing Fibers' 4.6. The 50+ bought-last-month figure, the only one recorded among these four products, suggests it remains a regularly restocked staple despite carrying a mid-pack rating.

At 0.25 ounces, the NB377 matches the Elk Hair's weight but costs nearly five times as much, which points to a different material type or manufacturing process even though the exact composition is not spelled out in the listed specs. The white color positions it as a base material that tyers can dye or layer under other colors, rather than a pattern-specific shade like the CDC28's Blue Wing Olive. With 550 reviews on record, this is the most established product of the four by a wide margin, and the 50+ bought-last-month figure indicates it continues to sell at meaningful volume rather than trailing off. For a tying material priced above $18, that combination of high review count and ongoing purchase activity is a stronger signal of practical, everyday use than a high star rating alone would provide.
The NB377's 550 reviews dwarf the other three Hareline products in this comparison, more than the CDC28's 359, the Fishing Fibers' 133, and the Elk Hair's 110 put together. Its 4.2-star average is respectable but not top of the group, sitting behind the Elk Hair's 4.5 and the Fishing Fibers' 4.6. What sets it apart is the bought-last-month figure of 50+, the only one of the four products with a recorded recent-demand number, while the others all show 0+. Read together, this points to a material that a large number of buyers have rated moderately well and that continues to move at a steady pace, rather than a niche item with a small but highly satisfied buyer base.
It has 550 reviews at a 4.2-star average, the largest review count among the four Hareline fly-tying materials in this comparison, well ahead of the CDC28's 359, the Fishing Fibers' 133, and the Elk Hair's 110.
At $18.06, it costs more than the other three Hareline materials compared here, but it is the only one with a documented bought-last-month figure of 50+, showing ongoing purchase activity alongside its 550 reviews and 4.2-star rating.
It is listed in white, weighing 0.25 ounces per pack. No specific technique or target species is listed in the specs, so it appears to function as a general-purpose base material rather than a pattern-specific one like the CDC28's Blue Wing Olive.
