Tigofly 11 pcs 11 Colors Silicone Tube 1/8" ID x Review
Our verdict
At $9.99, the Tigofly 11 Color Silicone Tube set delivers eleven separate tubing colors in one order, backed by a 4.2 star average across 272 reviews. That review count is smaller than the 527 and 550 seen on two other threads in this comparison, but the rating matches the higher volume Riverruns thread exactly.
Check price on AmazonBest for
Tube fly tiers who want a full spectrum of colors in a single purchase rather than ordering single color tubing repeatedly, particularly anglers tying streamers or salmon and steelhead patterns that rely on tube body construction.
Skip if
Skip this if you only tie standard hook shank flies rather than tube flies, since the 1/8 inch ID by 3/16 inch OD sizing is built specifically for tube style construction and will not suit traditional fly bodies.

272 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.
Overview
Tube flies need tubing, and the Tigofly 11 Color Silicone Tube set answers that need with eleven colors in a single $9.99 purchase. That undercuts the $12.99 Riverruns Twisted Body Thread and the $18.06 Hareline NB377 also referenced in this comparison, while landing above the $3.95 Hareline Natural Elk Hair and $7.95 Hareline CDC28.
The spec sheet lists a 2 ounce weight, a 10 inch length, and a 1/8 inch ID by 3/16 inch OD sizing built for the Fly technique specifically, with 11.0 count pieces included. That sizing detail matters because tube diameter has to match the hook or connector being used, and this listing spells out both inner and outer dimensions rather than a single approximate size.
On review data, 272 reviews at 4.2 stars is a smaller sample than the 527 review Riverruns thread or the 550 review Hareline NB377, both of which also average 4.2 stars, but it still clears the 110 review Hareline Natural Elk Hair in volume. Bought last month reads 0+ for this Tigofly listing, matching most of the comparison set apart from the Hareline NB377, which shows 50+ for the same time period.
Pros
- 11 separate colors included in one $9.99 set, cheaper than the $12.99 Riverruns thread
- 4.2 star rating across 272 reviews matches the average of the higher volume Riverruns and Hareline NB377 listings
- Both inner (1/8 inch) and outer (3/16 inch) diameter specs listed, useful for matching tube connectors
- 10 inch length per piece gives enough material to cut multiple tube bodies from a single piece
- Silicone material spec, suited to the flexible tube fly technique rather than rigid tying thread
Cons
- 272 reviews is the second smallest sample in this comparison, behind only the 110 review Hareline Natural Elk Hair
- 0+ bought last month gives no indication of current sales momentum
- Only usable for tube fly construction, not a substitute for standard tying thread
- No target species field listed, unlike some other fly tying materials in this category

Performance notes
The 1/8 inch ID by 3/16 inch OD spec is the number that matters most here: it defines what hook shank or tube connector the silicone will slide onto, and having both dimensions listed removes the guesswork that comes with vaguer universal sizing claims. A 2 ounce weight and 10 inch length per piece across 11.0 count pieces suggests enough raw tubing to cut many individual tube bodies rather than a handful of pre cut sections. Eleven colors in one set means a tier working through several tube fly patterns, from smaller trout streamers up to larger salmon or steelhead flies, can match color to pattern without a second order. At $9.99, that works out to roughly 91 cents per color if divided evenly, undercutting the per unit cost of buying single colors separately.
What buyers say
A 4.2 star average across 272 reviews places this listing in the middle of the pack for sample size among the fly tying materials referenced here, well ahead of the 110 review Hareline Natural Elk Hair but behind the 359 review Hareline CDC28 and the 527 to 550 review range of the two thread listings. The matching 4.2 star average with both the Riverruns thread and the Hareline NB377 suggests consistent buyer satisfaction rather than an outlier score built on a small base. The 0+ bought last month figure does not show a recent sales spike, but that reading is shared by every comparison product except the NB377's 50+.

Frequently asked questions
What size hooks or tubes does this silicone fit?
The listing specifies a 1/8 inch inner diameter by 3/16 inch outer diameter, sized for the Fly tube tying technique. That dual measurement is meant to help match the tubing to the connector or hook shank being used, rather than relying on a single generic size description.
How many colors come in the Tigofly set?
This set includes 11 colors across 11.0 count pieces for $9.99, described on the listing simply as Multicolor. That is more color variety in a single purchase than single color options like the $3.95 Hareline Natural Elk Hair or the $18.06 Hareline NB377 referenced in this comparison.
Is 272 reviews enough to trust the 4.2 star rating?
It is a mid sized sample among the fly tying materials compared here, larger than the 110 review Hareline Natural Elk Hair but smaller than the 527 to 550 review range of the two thread listings. The 4.2 average matches two higher volume products exactly, which supports the rating rather than undercutting it.
