Fly tiers building out a rotation of squirmy wormy worm imitation patterns who want several leg colors bundled into one combo purchase rather than buying single color packs one at a time.
Skip if
Skip this if you tie only one or two squirmy wormy patterns in a single go to color, since a combo set built for variety will leave you with leftover colors you may not use right away.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Squirmy wormy patterns live and die on having the right leg color in the box when panfish or trout are keyed in on a particular shade, and Greatfishing packages this material as a Best Color Combo Set rather than a single color pack. At $8.59, it sits close to the Hareline CDC28's $7.95 but comes bundled as a combo rather than one color, which changes the value math for tiers who want variety over volume of a single shade.
Where this listing stands out in the comparison set is its review pattern. A 4.6 star average across 294 reviews beats the Hareline CDC28's 4.0 across 359, the Hareline NB377's 4.2 across 550, and even edges out the Hareline Natural Elk Hair's 4.5 across a much smaller 110 review base. The 100+ bought last month figure is also the strongest recent demand signal among all four products compared here, well ahead of the Hareline NB377's 50+ and far above the two Hareline listings sitting at 0+.
For a fly tying material priced under $9, a 4.6 star average backed by nearly 300 reviews and triple digit recent purchase volume is a hard combination to beat. Tiers who want a combo set covering multiple squirmy wormy leg colors rather than committing to one shade have a well reviewed, actively purchased option here.
Pros
- 4.6 star average across 294 reviews is the highest rating among the fly tying materials compared here
- 100+ units bought last month is the strongest recent demand signal in this comparison set
- Combo set format bundles multiple leg colors into one $8.59 purchase
- Priced close to the Hareline CDC28 at $7.95 while carrying a meaningfully higher rating
- InStock availability with no backorder wait
Cons
- No published spec sheet for material weight or piece count, so exact quantity per color is not listed
- A combo set means some included colors may go unused if you tie a narrow range of patterns
- Priced above the Hareline Natural Elk Hair's $3.95, so it is not the budget option in this category
- 294 reviews, while strong, is still well short of the Hareline NB377's 550 review sample size
Performance notes
Without a published weight or piece count on this listing, the clearest performance signal comes from price and market response rather than a spec sheet. At $8.59 for a combo set, Greatfishing charges a modest premium over the $7.95 single color Hareline CDC28, and the market appears to reward that with a 4.6 star average and 100+ recent purchases, the strongest volume figure among the fly tying materials in this comparison. A combo set format is built around giving tiers several leg colors in one purchase, which matters for squirmy wormy patterns since fish can be selective about leg shade depending on water clarity and light conditions. Without exact piece counts, tiers should treat this as a variety pack rather than a bulk single color supply, useful for rounding out a fly box rather than replacing a dedicated bulk purchase.
What buyers say
A 4.6 star average across 294 reviews, paired with 100+ units bought in the past month, is the strongest combined rating and demand pattern among the four fly tying materials in this comparison. The next closest rating, the Hareline Natural Elk Hair's 4.5 stars, comes from a much smaller 110 review sample, while the two listings with larger review counts, the Hareline CDC28 at 359 and the Hareline NB377 at 550, both rate lower at 4.0 and 4.2 respectively. That combination of a high rating sustained across a substantial review count, plus triple digit recent purchase volume, points to a product that consistently satisfies repeat buyers.

Frequently asked questions
How many leg colors come in the Greatfishing combo set?
The listing markets it as a Best Color Combo Set but does not publish an exact color or piece count. Buyers should check the current Amazon listing images for the specific colors included before ordering if a particular shade is required for a pattern.
Is this squirmy wormy leg material better rated than other fly tying materials in this price range?
Yes. At 4.6 stars across 294 reviews, it rates higher than the similarly priced Hareline CDC28, which sits at 4.0 stars across 359 reviews, and higher than the pricier Hareline NB377 at 4.2 stars across 550 reviews, making it the best rated option in this specific price comparison.
Does the 100+ bought last month figure mean this is a popular fly tying material?
It is the highest recent purchase figure among the fly tying materials compared here, ahead of the Hareline NB377's 50+ and well above the two Hareline listings showing 0+. That suggests steady, active demand rather than a one time surge.
