Our verdict

106 owner reviews, fewer 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
Trout anglers who want a straightforward 24-piece box in classic green, black, and orange will find the Sumind wet fly assortment covers that ground directly, built from high carbon steel and feather on J hooks and weighing 1.44 ounces for the full set.
At $12.49 for 24 pieces, the per-fly cost works out to about 52 cents, cheaper than the $7.99 Elk 1000 or BH 1002 12-packs on a per-piece basis, and far below the Mustad-hook Wooly Bugger's cost of over $2 per fly. The rating tells a different story, though: 4.2 stars across 106 reviews is the lowest rating and one of the smaller review counts among the wet flies in this comparison, trailing the 4.3 to 4.6-star range every other listing here reports.
Demand sits at 50-plus units bought last month, matching the lower tier reported for the Tigofly UV Polar Fry and Wooly Bugger Mustad sets, and in stock and available now. For anglers focused purely on trout and comfortable with a below-average rating relative to this comparison group, the per-fly price is competitive, but the rating gap is the clearest tradeoff.
Pros
- At $12.49 for 24 pieces, cost works out to about 52 cents per fly, cheaper per-fly than the $7.99 Elk 1000 or BH 1002 12-packs
- 24-piece count offers more flies per box than the 10 or 12-piece alternatives in this comparison
- Three color options, green, black, and orange, cover common trout water conditions
- High carbon steel and feather construction on J hooks
- In stock and available now
Cons
- 4.2-star rating is the lowest of any wet fly in this comparison
- 106 reviews is among the smaller samples here, well below the BH 1002's 512 or the FNM009's 711
- Targets trout only, a narrower species range than alternatives naming bass, bluegill, pike, salmon, or steelhead
- Bought-last-month figure of 50-plus trails the 100-plus or 200-plus figures several alternatives report

Performance notes
Feather-and-steel construction on a J hook is a traditional wet fly build, and at 1.44 ounces for the full 24-piece set, this is a heavier full-box weight than some of the lighter individual-fly alternatives in this comparison, largely a function of the higher piece count. The three colors offered, green, black, and orange, are common trout wet fly shades that cover both natural imitation and attractor-style presentations depending on water clarity. High carbon steel hooks are a durable, standard choice, though the listing does not specify a hook size the way the Tigofly FNM009 or 36 SPJ000187 sets do. Trout is the only target species named on this listing, a narrower focus than sets that also name bass, bluegill, pike, salmon, or steelhead, which matters if a buyer is stocking a box for mixed-species water rather than trout streams specifically.
What buyers say
A 4.2-star rating across 106 reviews is the softest combination in this wet-fly comparison on both counts. Every other listing here holds at least 4.3 stars, with several reaching 4.4 to 4.6, and only the 36 SPJ000187's 105 reviews comes close to matching this set's review volume among the smaller samples. At 50-plus units bought last month, demand also sits at the lower tier of this comparison, matching the two cheaper Tigofly and Wooly Bugger listings rather than the 100-plus or 200-plus figures other alternatives report. Together, the pattern suggests a listing with a smaller, less enthusiastic buyer base relative to the rest of this group, though a 4.2-star average is still a net positive rating overall.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the Sumind set have the lowest rating in this comparison?
The listing shows a 4.2-star average across 106 reviews, below the 4.3 to 4.6-star range every other wet fly in this comparison holds. The facts available do not explain the reason beyond the rating and review count themselves, only that it is the softest combination in this specific group.
Is $12.49 for 24 flies a good price?
At about 52 cents per fly, it costs less per piece than the $7.99 Elk 1000 or BH 1002 12-packs, which work out closer to 67 cents per fly. The tradeoff is a lower 4.2-star rating compared with those alternatives' 4.4 stars.
What species is this wet fly set built for?
Trout is the only target species named in the listing, with no mention of bass, panfish, or other freshwater species some anglers might expect. That is narrower than several alternatives in this comparison, which also name bass, bluegill, pike, salmon, or steelhead alongside trout, giving buyers more species flexibility in a single box.
