Description

Amazing Synthetic Quills, Olive, Purple, Peccary, and Clear vinyl strips with a tapered edge create the most remarkable bodies on flies, including nymphs, shrimps, wets, and dry flies. Totally synthetic Perfect Quills are crafted from thin, tapered vinyl ranging from a point to 3mm in width, featuring a beautiful black edging strip that forms the rib. The width of the black edging dictates the size. To create an indestructible fly, apply a UV resin or varnish on top to prevent fish teeth from damaging your fly bodies. Ideal for patterns like PTN, damsel nymphs, chironomid pupae and emergers, and mayfly adults, nymphs, and emergers. With Peacock Herl now on the CITES red list, we face challenges when travelling with it; this synthetic option provides a natural alternative, reducing that risk. *A suitable substitute for Stripped Peacock Quills* Large size ideal for flies # 6 to 310 Medium size ideal for flies #12 to #16 Small size ideal for flies #14- 18

Field Notes

Used as a fly-tying material to create tapered, quill-style bodies on nymphs, wets, dries, emergers, and shrimp patterns. Best when you want a durable synthetic substitute for natural quills or peacock herl, especially for patterns that benefit from a slim, segmented body profile.

Pros

  • Creates realistic tapered fly bodies
  • Synthetic and more durable than natural quills
  • Useful substitute for stripped peacock quills
  • Works on a wide range of fly patterns

Cons

  • Requires fly-tying skill and finishing materials
  • Not a ready-to-fish product
