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
Foam bodied patterns like beetles, hoppers, and ants call for sheet foam in a range of thicknesses and colors, and the GREATFISHING set bundles a 10 color combo of 3mm foam sheet material for $11.09. That price sits below the Hareline NB377's $18.06 but above the Hareline CDC28's $7.95 and the Hareline Natural Elk Hair's $3.95.
The 4.5 star average across 203 reviews is a solid rating, close to the Hareline Natural Elk Hair's 4.5 across a smaller 110 review base, and ahead of the Hareline CDC28's 4.0 across 359. Where this listing falls short is recent demand. The 0+ bought last month figure is the lowest in this comparison, trailing the 50+ figures on the Hareline NB377 and the GREATFISHING crystal flash set, and far behind the 100+ figures on the two other GREATFISHING listings reviewed alongside it.
For tiers who need a specific 10 color foam combo and are comfortable relying on a solid historical rating rather than current sales momentum, the $11.09 price and 203 review count still represent a reasonably vetted purchase. Buyers focused on recent demand signals may want to weigh that 0+ figure before choosing this over a more actively selling alternative.
Pros
- 4.5 star average across 203 reviews matches the top rated Hareline Natural Elk Hair in this comparison
- 10 color combo covers a range of foam shades in one $11.09 purchase
- 3mm sheet thickness suits standard foam bodied patterns like beetles and hoppers
- Priced below the Hareline NB377's $18.06 while still offering a multi color combo format
- 203 reviews gives a reasonably established feedback history for the rating
Cons
- 0+ bought last month is the lowest recent demand figure among the fly tying materials compared here
- At $11.09, it costs more than the Hareline CDC28 and Hareline Natural Elk Hair alternatives
- 203 reviews is a mid sized sample, smaller than the Hareline NB377's 550 or the GREATFISHING crystal flash set's 410
- No weight or piece count listed beyond the 10 color 3mm sheet description

Performance notes
A 10 color combo at 3mm thickness covers the standard range most foam pattern tiers reach for, since 3mm is a common middle ground thickness for beetle and hopper bodies, thick enough to float well but thin enough to trim and shape cleanly. Having 10 colors in one $11.09 purchase means a tier can match foam color to water conditions or natural insect coloring without buying single sheets separately. The 0+ bought last month figure is worth noting for anyone weighing current market activity, since it suggests this particular combo has not seen recent purchase volume on the scale of the crystal flash or squirmy wormy listings in this same comparison, even though its 4.5 star rating reflects favorably on past buyers.
What buyers say
A 4.5 star average across 203 reviews is a strong historical rating, on par with the Hareline Natural Elk Hair's 4.5 stars, though that listing's review count is smaller at 110. What stands out here is the gap between that rating and the 0+ bought last month figure, the lowest recent demand signal in this comparison set. That combination suggests a product with a solid track record among past buyers but comparatively quiet recent activity, unlike the GREATFISHING squirmy wormy combo and crystal flash set, both of which show active recent purchase volume alongside similarly high ratings.

Frequently asked questions
How many foam colors come in this GREATFISHING set?
The listing specifies a 10 color 3mm foam sheet combo. Exact color names are not broken out in the spec sheet, so checking the current Amazon listing photos is the best way to confirm which shades are included before you order.
Why is the bought last month figure so low if the rating is 4.5 stars?
The 0+ figure reflects recent purchase activity specifically, not the overall rating history behind the 203 reviews. A strong historical rating can coexist with quieter recent sales, which is what this listing's numbers show compared to more actively selling alternatives in this comparison.
Is 3mm foam the right thickness for most fly patterns?
3mm is a common middle thickness for foam bodied flies like beetles and hoppers, floating well while remaining easy to trim and shape. The listing does not specify other thicknesses, so tiers needing thinner or thicker foam would need a different product.
