BH 1002 Wet Flies Review

Our scorecard

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.

Overview

Building confidence in a fly pattern usually comes down to seeing how many other anglers have bought and rated it, and 512 reviews is a substantial base to draw from. The BH 1002 Wet Flies pack includes 12 spear point flies made from high carbon and stainless steel, weighing 18.14 grams, and comes in black across sizes small, medium, large and extra large, all for $7.99.

That review count outpaces every other wet fly in this comparison, including the Elk 1000's 284, the 36 SPJ000187's 105, and the Tigofly pack's 258. At the same $7.99 price as the Elk 1000, the BH 1002 matches its 4.4 star average exactly, while the pricier 36 SPJ000187 at $29.99 edges ahead with 4.6 stars and the Tigofly pack at $9.99 sits lower at 4.3 stars. The steel construction and spear point technique set the BH 1002 apart from the elk hair caddis style of the Elk 1000.

With 100+ bought last month, matching the Elk 1000 and 36 SPJ000187's pace, the BH 1002 is clearly a steady seller, and its four available sizes, one more than the Elk 1000's three, add some flexibility for matching different water conditions. It's currently in stock at the lowest price point among the four wet flies compared.

Specifications

Performance notes

The spear point technique and steel construction here point to a more traditional wet fly hook design built for durability and a sharp, direct penetration point, which matters when a trout or bass strikes hard and the hook needs to set quickly. High carbon steel combined with stainless steel suggests a build meant to resist corrosion in both fresh and, potentially, brackish water while keeping the point sharp longer than a softer alloy would. The 18.14 gram weight and four available sizes, small through extra large, give more range to match hatch size or target species than a three-size pack would. Compared to the Elk 1000, which relies on elk hair and a caddis-style presentation, the BH 1002's steel and spear point combination is built for a different fishing approach, prioritizing hook strength and hookset reliability over a natural, floating silhouette.

What buyers say

A 4.4 star average across 512 reviews is a notably deep sample, the largest of any wet fly in this lineup, which gives real weight to that rating compared to smaller-sample listings like the 36 SPJ000187's 105 reviews. It ties the Elk 1000's 4.4 stars exactly, though that pack has less than half the review count at 284, and it edges out the Tigofly pack's 4.3 stars across 258 reviews. Only the pricier 36 SPJ000187 rates higher at 4.6 stars, but on a much smaller review base. The 100+ bought last month figure matches the pace of the Elk 1000 and 36 SPJ000187, suggesting the BH 1002 continues to sell consistently even with such a large existing review pool.
