Quick take
Natural peacock herl strands for tying bodies and ribs on nymphs, wet flies and streamers.
This Tigofly pack holds about 400 natural peacock herl strands, each roughly 4 to 8 inches long, in a 1.5 gram bundle. Peacock herl is a classic choice for ribbed and wrapped bodies on nymphs, wet flies and streamers. It suits fly tyers who want a natural, iridescent body material for building their own patterns at the vise.
