Semperfli Synthetic Peacock Herl

Designed to imitate natural Peacock Herl Semperfli Synthetic Peacock Herl 2mm Extra Small is a fritz / chenille which contains all the iridescents that you find in natural Peacock Herl, accents of blue, green, copper and gold highlight and change in different lighting conditions just like natural Peacock Herl.

Peacock herl has been used for many years as a stunning fly tying material. With its stunning iridescence fly tyers love the way the colors change as you look at this amazing material. Because of CITES the Semperfli team decided to create a synthetic peacock herl that would reflect different colors. The new Peacock Herl has black, blue and green backgrounds and different colored tinsels embedded. With a tight core the reflects the peacock’s natural iridescence and color changing effects as light hits different parts of the herl. With this synthetic herl you can cover the hook very quickly with simple wraps to create perfect alternative to Peacock Herl without the concern that your Peacock Herl will snap mid fly.

The peacock herl substitute is available in Black Peacock, Blue Peacock and Green Peacock available in 2mm and 4mm.

Features of the Synthetic Peacock Herl:
It is far far stronger than natural peacock herl, and being so robust it will make a fly with an exposed area like a Klinkhammer thorax last longer before it is destroyed.
The length is not limited to the length of the herl like natural.
3 different color variants which can be used alone or weaved together to enhance effect
When we worked on the prototypes of this product we sent it to some of our pro team for testing and received exciting feedback. Hans van Klinken immediately used it as the thorax of his Klinkhamer and told us its absolutely great, awesome for Klinkhamer 2.0 for size 12 and larger flies. You will see it in his book when it is released!
