133pcs/Set Ultra-Thin Portable Nymph Scud Midge Flies Kit Assortment with Review
Our verdict
The 133-piece Ultra-Thin Nymph Scud Midge Flies Kit costs $42.48, the highest price in this wet-fly comparison, and carries a 4.2-star rating across 74 reviews, the lowest rating and smallest review base of the group. Its 100+ bought last month matches the Elk 1000, BH 1002 and SPJ000187 packs, so the premium price has not yet built a standout sales or rating edge.

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

Overview
An angler wanting to stock a fly box with small nymph, scud and midge patterns for salmon and trout in one large purchase is the target for this 133-piece kit. Built from alloy steel on a J-hook, the flies ship in size 12/14 and are described as ultra-thin and portable, with the full 133-piece set weighing 0.09 kilograms. The price is $42.48.
That price is the highest of any wet-fly pack in this comparison, above the $39.99 Wifreo kit that includes a waterproof fly box, and far above the $7.99 Elk 1000 and BH 1002 packs. Where the Wifreo kit bundles storage into its higher price, this kit's cost comes from sheer volume, 133 pieces versus 120 for the Wifreo kit and just 12 for the Elk 1000 and BH 1002.
Its rating of 4.2 stars across 74 reviews is the lowest of the group, trailing the 4.4-star Elk 1000 and BH 1002, the 4.6-star SPJ000187 and RoxStar packs, and the 4.7-star Wifreo kit. Its 100+ bought last month matches three of the four comparison packs, so it has not shown a purchase-volume edge to offset the lower rating and smaller review count. Anglers weighing this kit should note it is the newest-looking pattern on rating volume here.
Pros
- 133 pieces is the largest piece count of any wet-fly pack in this comparison.
- Alloy-steel J-hook construction across sizes 12/14 targets small nymph, scud and midge patterns for salmon and trout.
- At 0.09 kilograms for the full set, the kit is compact relative to its large piece count.
- Covers two target species, salmon and trout, similar in scope to the Tigofly 1/0 Polar pack.
- At $42.48 for 133 pieces, the per-fly cost works out to about $0.32, lower than the other wet-fly packs compared here despite the higher sticker price.
Cons
- At $42.48, it is the most expensive wet-fly pack in this comparison, above even the Wifreo kit that includes a fly box.
- A 4.2-star rating is the lowest of any pack compared here, below the 4.4 to 4.7 range of the alternatives.
- 74 reviews is the smallest review base in the group, well under the BH 1002's 512.
- 100+ bought last month matches the cheaper Elk 1000, BH 1002 and SPJ000187 packs despite the higher price.

Performance notes
This kit's 133-piece count is built around small nymph, scud and midge patterns in size 12/14, a finer profile aimed at subsurface presentations for salmon and trout rather than the larger 1/0 or size 8 flies used in the other packs compared here. Alloy-steel J-hook construction is a different material spec than the high-carbon steel used in the FNM011 and Tigofly 1/0 packs, though both are steel-based rather than tungsten. The ultra-thin, portable framing on the listing points to a kit meant for carrying, at 0.09 kilograms for the full 133-piece set, a similar weight to the RoxStar 24-piece pack despite holding over five times as many flies. Because the kit targets salmon and trout specifically with small patterns, it reads as a subsurface-focused assortment rather than the broader, larger-fly packs like the Wifreo kit or the Tigofly 1/0 Polar pack.
What buyers say
A 4.2-star rating across 74 reviews is the lowest score and smallest review count in this comparison, trailing the 4.4-star Elk 1000 and BH 1002 packs, the 4.6-star SPJ000187 and RoxStar packs, and the 4.7-star Wifreo kit. Its 100+ bought last month matches the Elk 1000, BH 1002 and SPJ000187 packs exactly, so despite the highest price in the group at $42.48, it has not generated a purchase-volume advantage. The smaller review count relative to established packs like the BH 1002's 512 suggests this kit has less of a track record built up, which combined with the lower rating points to a newer or less proven listing than its rivals.

The kit ships 133 pieces total, the largest count of any wet-fly pack in this comparison, built on alloy-steel J-hooks in size 12/14 and targeting salmon and trout. That is more than the Wifreo kit's 120 pieces and far more than the 12-piece Elk 1000 or BH 1002 packs.

Why does this kit cost more than the other wet-fly packs?
At $42.48, it is priced above even the $39.99 Wifreo kit that includes a fly box, driven mainly by its 133-piece count, the largest in this comparison, versus 120 pieces for the Wifreo kit and 12 for the Elk 1000 and BH 1002 packs.
