Our verdict
At $11.99, the Tigofly MT009UV delivers 14 pieces of roughly 13-inch polyester material aimed at salmon patterns, backed by a 4.1-star average across 196 reviews, a middle-of-the-road showing next to the 4.5-star Elk Hair and 4.4-star Tungsten beads in this lineup.

Fly tiers building salmon patterns who need longer polyester strands, around 13 inches each, and want a 14-piece count sized for several ties rather than a single fly.
Skip if
You are tying smaller freshwater or panfish patterns that do not need the longer 13-inch strand length, or you want a rating closer to the 4.5-star Elk Hair before committing.

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
The Tigofly MT009UV is a polyester fly tying material priced at $11.99, sitting between the $7.95 CDC28 and the $18.06 NB377 in this comparison. Each pack ships 14 pieces measuring about 13 inches long and weighing 2 ounces total, with salmon listed as the target species, pointing this toward larger streamer or salmon fly builds rather than small dry flies.
At a 4.1-star average across 196 reviews, it sits below the Elk Hair's 4.5 stars and the CDC28's 4.0 stars falls just under it, while the NB377 leads the group at 4.2 stars across 550 reviews. The review count of 196 is a moderate sample, larger than the Elk Hair's 110 but well short of the CDC28's 359 or the NB377's 550, so the 4.1-star figure rests on a smaller base than some of its direct competitors.
Bought last month is listed at 0+, matching the CDC28 and Elk Hair rather than the 50+ figure attached to the NB377. For a longer-strand polyester material aimed specifically at salmon patterns, that puts it in the same recent-demand tier as other niche fly materials in this set rather than the higher-volume seller.
Pros
- 14 pieces per pack at roughly 13 inches each suits larger salmon and streamer patterns
- 2-ounce total weight gives tiers a substantial amount of material per purchase
- Priced at $11.99, cheaper than the $18.06 NB377 and the $18.49 Tigofly Super Hair hank
- 196 reviews is a moderate sample, more feedback than the 110-review Elk Hair
- Polyester construction is built for the length and durability salmon patterns need
Cons
- 4.1-star average trails the 4.5-star Elk Hair and the 4.4-star and 4.5-star Tungsten bead options in this category
- Bought last month sits at 0+, the same low recent-demand figure as the CDC28 and Elk Hair
- 196 reviews is a smaller sample than the 359 for the CDC28 or 550 for the NB377
- Aimed specifically at salmon patterns, less flexible than general-purpose materials

Performance notes
At about 13 inches per piece and 14 pieces per pack, this material is sized for larger flies rather than small dries or nymphs, the extra length gives room to work multiple wraps or a longer profile into a salmon streamer without running short mid-tie. The 2-ounce total weight for 14 pieces suggests each strand carries some heft, consistent with a polyester build meant to hold shape and color through repeated casts rather than fray quickly. Because the target species is listed as salmon, the length and weight specs point toward saltwater or big-river streamer patterns rather than small freshwater flies. At $11.99, the per-piece cost works out to under a dollar a strand, reasonable for a material built around a specific longer-format use case rather than general tying stock.
What buyers say
A 4.1-star average across 196 reviews puts this material in the middle of the pack against the alternatives compared here, ahead of the CDC28's 4.0 stars but behind the Elk Hair's 4.5 and the NB377's 4.2. The review count of 196 is a reasonable sample size, enough to smooth out a few outlier complaints but smaller than the 359 and 550 review bases of the CDC28 and NB377. With bought last month at 0+, matching the CDC28 and Elk Hair, recent purchase activity appears modest, which fits a specialty material aimed at a specific pattern type rather than a broad, frequently restocked staple.

Frequently asked questions
How long is each piece of the Tigofly MT009UV material?
Each of the 14 pieces measures about 13 inches, or 33 cm, with 2 ounces total weight per pack, sizing it for larger salmon and streamer patterns rather than small dry flies or nymphs that call for shorter, lighter material.
How does the 4.1-star rating compare to similar fly tying materials?
It sits below the Elk Hair's 4.5 stars and the NB377's 4.2 stars, but ahead of the CDC28's 4.0 stars, placing it in the middle of this fly-tying material comparison on both rating and the 196-review sample size behind it.
Is this material in high demand right now?
Bought last month is listed at 0+, the same figure as the CDC28 and Elk Hair, suggesting recent purchase activity is modest compared to the 50+ figure attached to the NB377, a more general-purpose fly tying material with broader appeal across pattern types.
