12 Colors Set 200 Deniers Elastic Fly Tying Thread Perfect Review
Our verdict
This 12-color, 200-denier elastic fly tying thread set costs $15.99 and includes 50 meters of thread per color for line weight 6 work. Its 4.2-star rating across 190 reviews matches Hareline's NB377, but the 0+ bought last month figure suggests it has not seen a recent surge in orders.
Check price on AmazonBest for
Fly tiers who want a 12-color assortment of 200-denier elastic thread in one $15.99 set, with 50 meters per color at line weight 6, enough range to cover multiple patterns without buying single spools one at a time.
Skip if
Skip it if you only tie with one or two thread colors regularly, since the 0+ bought last month figure and 190-review count are both lower than the 550-review, 50+ demand NB377 spool sold at a similar price point.

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
Tying a rotation of different fly patterns often means switching thread color from fly to fly, olive for a nymph body, black for a streamer head, red for a hot spot. This 12-color set of 200-denier elastic thread bundles that variety into one $15.99 order, with 50 meters of thread on each of the 12 spools, enough to get through a full tying session without switching packs mid-project.
Line weight 6 and a listed 'elastic' quality point to a mid-strength thread with some stretch built in, useful for wrapping bodies without the thread snapping under tension. At 4.2 stars across 190 reviews, it lands even with Hareline's NB377, which carries a much larger review base at 550 and shows 50+ bought last month against this set's 0+.
Compared to the $7.95 CDC28 and $3.95 Elk Hair pack, both single-material items rather than multi-color thread sets, this product costs more but replaces what would otherwise be a dozen separate thread purchases. For tiers who value having 12 colors on hand at 50 meters each, the $15.99 price spreads out to roughly $1.33 per color.
Pros
- 12 colors included in one $15.99 set, each spool holding 50 meters of thread
- 200-denier elastic construction adds some stretch for wrapping without snapping
- Line weight 6 suits a range of standard fly sizes
- 4.2-star rating across 190 reviews matches the pricier $18.06 NB377 spool
- One purchase covers color variety that would otherwise take several single-spool orders
Cons
- 0+ bought last month, compared to 50+ for the similarly rated NB377
- 190 reviews is the smallest review base among the four products compared here
- At $15.99, it costs roughly double the $7.95 CDC28
- No listed target species or technique details beyond 'Fly'
- 4.2-star average trails the 4.5-star Elk Hair pack

Performance notes
The 200-denier rating describes thread thickness, a mid-range denier that balances holding power with a low enough profile to avoid bulking up smaller fly bodies. Listed as 'elastic,' the thread carries some stretch, which helps it compress materials evenly around a hook shank without the abrupt snapping that stiffer thread can show under repeated wraps. Line weight 6 places it in a middle range suited to standard nymph and streamer sizes rather than the finest midge work or the heaviest saltwater patterns. With 50 meters per color across 12 spools, the set provides roughly 600 meters of thread total, spread thin enough per color that heavy users of a single shade may still need to restock that color before the others run low. The 200D designation and elastic quality together suggest a general-purpose thread built for variety of color rather than a specialized heavy-duty or ultra-fine niche thread.
What buyers say
At 190 reviews, this thread set has the smallest review base of the four products compared here, though its 4.2-star average still matches the much larger 550-review NB377. The 0+ bought last month figure places it alongside the CDC28 and Elk Hair packs, both also showing 0+, while only the NB377 shows 50+ recent purchases. Taken together, the pattern points to a product with a moderate, established rating built up over time rather than one currently seeing a spike in orders. The smaller review count relative to the NB377 means there is less accumulated feedback to judge long-term consistency, even though the star average itself holds up well against the larger sample.

Frequently asked questions
How much thread comes in each color of this set?
Each of the 12 colors comes on its own 50-meter spool, so the full set includes 600 meters of 200-denier elastic thread total for $15.99. That is enough thread per color to complete a good number of flies before any single spool runs out.
What does 'elastic' mean for this fly tying thread?
It refers to the thread having some stretch built into the 200-denier construction, which can help it compress material evenly around a hook shank rather than staying rigid. Based on the specs provided, this is a material property rather than a tested performance claim about breaking strength.
Is this thread set a good value next to the NB377 spool?
At $15.99 for 12 colors and 600 meters total, it costs less than the $18.06 single-color NB377 while offering the same 4.2-star rating. The NB377 does show more reviews and higher recent purchase volume, so it may suit buyers who prioritize proven demand over color variety.
