Check price on AmazonBest for
Fly tiers who want one hank covering 16 colors of synthetic fiber instead of buying single-color packs, especially anyone tying streamers or baitfish patterns that call for several shades on the bench at once.
Skip if
You only tie a handful of patterns in one or two colors, or you prefer natural fibers like elk hair or CDC over synthetic hair for movement and profile in the water.

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

Overview
Tigofly's Super Hair hank packs 16 colors into a single $18.49 purchase, which puts it in the same price range as the Hareline NB377 at $18.06 but with a completely different value proposition. Instead of one color in one weight, a tier gets a spread of shades to match baitfish, streamers, and attractor patterns without ordering separate packs.
The review volume is the standout number here. At 523 reviews and a 4.3-star average, it has more feedback logged than the CDC28 (359 reviews, 4.0 stars), the Elk Hair (110 reviews, 4.5 stars), or even the NB377 (550 reviews, 4.2 stars) once you weigh rating against volume. That combination of a high star average and a large review base suggests consistent satisfaction across a wide buyer pool, not a small sample that got lucky.
Demand backs up the review pattern. Bought last month sits at 50+, matching the NB377 and outpacing the CDC28 and Elk Hair, both listed at 0+ for the same period. For a synthetic multi-color hank at this price, that level of recent purchase activity signals it is a staple restock item for tiers rather than a one-off curiosity buy.
Pros
- 16 colors in a single hank means fewer separate orders for multi-pattern tiers
- 4.3-star average across 523 reviews, the largest review base of the fly materials compared here
- Bought 50+ times last month, matching the top-demand NB377
- Priced at $18.49, close to the NB377's $18.06 despite covering far more color options
- In stock and available without the sourcing gaps that hit thinner-selling materials
Cons
- More than double the price of the $7.95 CDC28 and nearly five times the $3.95 Elk Hair
- No listed weight, size, or material composition to compare fiber count directly against alternatives
- Synthetic hair behaves differently in the water than natural options like elk hair or CDC
- A large multi-color hank is wasted spend for tiers who stick to one or two shades
Performance notes
A 16-color hank is built for tiers who rotate patterns rather than commit to one recipe. Having every shade in one purchase means less time waiting on restocks of a single color and more flexibility when a pattern calls for a subtle shift, like swapping a pearl shade for a chartreuse one on the same baitfish tie. Synthetic hair like this typically holds its color and shape wash after wash better than natural fibers, which matters for anglers who tie in batches ahead of a season rather than one fly at a time. The tradeoff against natural materials like elk hair or CDC is texture and movement in the water, synthetic fiber tends to have a stiffer, more uniform action. Without listed weight or fiber-count specs, buyers are relying on the color assortment and the review pattern rather than a spec sheet to judge how much material $18.49 actually buys.
What buyers say
A 4.3-star average holding steady across 523 reviews is a meaningful signal, that is a large enough sample that a handful of unhappy buyers would not move the number much, so the score reflects a broad consensus rather than a small cluster of opinions. Pairing that with 50+ bought last month, the same demand tier as the 550-review NB377, suggests this hank has become a repeat-buy staple rather than a novelty purchase. Compared to the Elk Hair and CDC28, both sitting at 0+ bought last month, the Tigofly hank is clearly the more active seller in this fly-tying material group right now.

Frequently asked questions
How many colors come in the Tigofly Super Hair hank?
The listing covers 16 colors in one hank, letting a tier work through multiple baitfish or streamer patterns from a single $18.49 purchase instead of buying individual color packs one at a time from a fly shop or another supplier.
Is the review base large enough to trust the 4.3-star rating?
Yes. At 523 reviews it has more feedback than the CDC28's 359, the Elk Hair's 110, and comes close to the NB377's 550, so the 4.3-star average reflects a wide buyer pool rather than a small early sample that could shift with a few more reviews.
Does the bought-last-month figure suggest steady demand?
It does. At 50+ purchases last month, it matches the NB377's demand level and clearly outpaces the CDC28 and Elk Hair, both listed at 0+ for the same period, indicating it functions as a regularly restocked staple rather than a one-time seller.
