What is Hends Body Quill Light?
Hends Body Quill Light is designed for tying slim, realistic segmented fly bodies with a natural translucent appearance. Wrapped over a light underbody, it creates a subtle effect that closely resembles the chitinous exoskeleton of aquatic insects.
The light colour range is especially effective for imitating pale nymphs, mayflies, chironomids and other lightly coloured aquatic insects. The material builds smooth, even bodies without unnecessary bulk, making it equally popular for traditional patterns and modern competition flies.

FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDSHends Body Quill Light delivers the most natural appearance when wrapped over a white or light-coloured thread underbody. Finish the fly with a thin coat of UV resin or quality varnish to enhance translucency, highlight the segmentation and significantly improve the durability of the finished body. |
