What is Hends Body Quill Pearl Dark?
Hends Body Quill Pearl Dark is a variation of the classic Body Quill material featuring a refined pearlescent finish. The combination of translucent fibres and rich dark colours creates fly bodies with natural depth and a subtle shimmer that closely resembles the chitinous exoskeleton of many aquatic insects.
The dark colour range is particularly well suited for imitating olive, brown, dark grey and almost black nymphs, as well as a wide variety of dry flies and emergers. It produces slim, evenly segmented bodies with a clean professional finish and excellent durability.
