Great value for new tyers. The five sizes cover most common patterns I need. Easy to use and produces consistent results for hopper and caddis flies.
Michael Powell –
Works well for making ant and stonefly patterns. A bit less realistic than solid foam, but very practical for fishing on a budget.

I used it to make a Chaos Hopper pattern and it turned out exactly as expected. The cutters are sharp and stay in good condition after several uses.
