FlyBox Stripped Peacock Quills
The Natural Material for Perfect Segmentation
FlyBox Stripped Peacock Quills are carefully prepared peacock herls with the delicate fibres removed, leaving only the smooth central quill. This reveals the material's naturally segmented structure, allowing fly tyers to create exceptionally clean, realistic bodies without the need for additional ribbing. For this reason, stripped peacock quills have become one of the most popular natural materials for tying lifelike nymphs, emergers and dry flies.
Unlike traditional Peacock Herl, which is valued primarily for its natural iridescence, Stripped Peacock Quills are all about precision and anatomical realism. They produce slim, perfectly segmented bodies that closely resemble the abdomen of mayflies and other aquatic insects. They are widely used in Quill Nymphs, Quill Gordons, Perdigons, mayfly imitations and many modern competition patterns where clean proportions and natural segmentation are essential.
FlyBox Stripped Peacock Quills come pre-stripped and ready to use, saving valuable tying time while ensuring consistent results. Once wrapped, they can easily be coated with a thin layer of UV resin or varnish to create an exceptionally durable body without losing their natural appearance.

FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDATIONIf traditional Peacock Herl is the material that captures light, Stripped Peacock Quills are the material that creates perfect segmentation. Whenever you're tying realistic mayfly nymphs, emergers or refined competition flies, few natural materials can match the clean, elegant bodies produced by stripped peacock quills. Finish the body with a thin coat of UV resin or varnish, and you'll achieve an exceptionally durable, highly realistic result. |
