Like you and many fly tyers, we love tying with Stripped Quills.
Olive Perfect Quills Synthetic Medium is our synthetic alternative which
provides the perfect quill every time which has a premarked black
edging and looks natural but Olive Perfect Quills Synthetic Medium is
each to use! Peacock Quills may be subject to Cites checks as the wild
peacock is Cites protected and you may need to prove that your peacock
is from a legal source, especially if you are travelling through
customs. Unlike natural Quills which can be difficult to get hold of, or
if you can source it, the quality is sometimes not what we hoped for.
Natural Quills are often brittle and hard to use – you may have tried
soaking it and experienced this first hand? However that is no longer
an issue. Here you have Olive Perfect Quills Synthetic Medium ie a
synthetic Quill! This has been developed in 3 colours – plain, olive
and purple, and in 3 different sizes in each. Olive Perfect Quills
Synthetic is available in small (#12 and below), medium (#12 to #16) and
large (#16 and above).
For the transparent quill anything tied
below the Stripped Quill shows through, from threads to tinsels muted to
a fluorescent thread, these base materials will shine through the
transparent quill beautifully.
In Olive Perfect Quills Synthetic
Medium there are 19 quills per pack. Each quill is 100mm in length (you
can get 2 flies per quill depending on your fly size.
Once Olive
Perfect Quills Synthetic Medium is on your fly, we challenge anyone not
to see the benefits of the synthetic version over the natural!
