We have looked at one of the staples of fly tying, marabou! Used in many streamers and fly patterns and of course the humble woolly bugger,
found in almost every fly fishermens fly box. More and more fly tying companies are importing low quality feathers and we have seen a
marked degradation in quality over the last decade. Without doubt a synthetic marabou offers consistent quality and performance. Add to the
quality issues natural marabou can be a pain in the a*** to sink, how often have you seen a fly fisherman cast a woolly bugger or streamer
that sits on the surface because sinkant has not been added to the fly.
As a result the Semperfli team decided to make a synthetic marabou
which can be used as a tail for humble woolly buggers as winging and tails of streamers. Highly mobile unlike sinkant applied natural marabou
Semperfli Synthetic Marabou is made from a very fine core around which the Synthetic Marabou fibres of 20mm or 40mm extrude. To use tie
in and simply wind directly around the hook, for a tail or wing it is simple. Our Synthetic Marabou comes in a stunning range of colors to match
natural marabou colors in the market but we then developed the range further, adding Crystal Marabou, a 20cm synthetic, semi transparent,
crinkled marabou to our range of marabou alternatives.
