Description

Upavon Synthetic Peacock Herl replicates the iridescent, multi-tonal sheen of natural peacock herl without the fragility — the fibers won't strip off the core under tight thread wraps or split after one fish the way natural herl does. Use it anywhere you'd reach for real herl: bodies on Zug Bugs, Princes, and Woolly Worms; thoraxes on Hare's Ear and Pheasant Tail variants; collar material on wet flies and soft hackles where the peacock effect adds the visual complexity that triggers takes.

Field Notes

Use this synthetic peacock herl as a fly-tying material anywhere natural peacock herl is called for—such as fly bodies, thoraxes, and collar material on wet flies and soft hackles. It’s designed to hold up under tight thread wraps so it stays intact during tying and after repeated casts.

Pros

  • Replicates natural peacock herl’s iridescent, multi-tonal sheen
  • More durable than natural herl—less likely to strip off the core under tight wraps
  • Less likely to split after a fish

Cons

  • Not a finished lure—requires fly tying to use
