Ok, None of my flies exploded but the variety of flies that exist today is overwhelming. I stick to the tried and true flies like those included in this set. These are a very good value and appear as well constructed as any fly I have ever purchased from expensive fly shops. I have not used them yet since I live in Fl and go to New England each Summer but they look like the fish will eat them.

got it for my dad , and he loved it , and for the next months we had a lot of fish for diner .

When I first purchased this selection I thought for this price that I would be lucky just to get a couple of good flies out of the whole 72. Then I received them and I could not believe it they were all outstanding, the quality is the best I have ever seen and for the price I just don't know how a person could go wrong. This selection is a must have for any real fisherman.....
