Semperfli Synthetic Peacock Herl is designed to imitate natural Peacock Herl.  It is a fritz/chenille material which contains all the iridescents that you find in natural Peacock Herl.  The accents of blue, green, copper and gold highlight and change in different lighting conditions, just like natural Peacock Herl.
 
The new synthetic Peacock Herl has black, blue and green backgrounds and different colored tinsels embedded.  The tight core reflects the Peacock’s natural iridescence and colour changing effects as light hits different parts of the herl. With this synthetic herl you can cover the hook very quickly with simple wraps to create perfect alternative to Peacock Herl, without the concern that your Peacock Herl will snap mid fly.  It is far far stronger than natural Peacock Herl, and being so robust it will make a fly with an exposed area like a Klinkhammer thorax last longer before it is destroyed.  The length is not limited to the length of the herl like the natural is.
 
When Semperfli worked on the prototypes of this product they sent it to some of their pro team tyers for testing and received exciting feedback.  Hans van Klinken immediately used it as the thorax of his Klinkhamer and told Semperfli its absolutely great and awesome for the Klinkhamer 2.0.
 
Because of CITES regulations now in place, genuine Peacock Herl is now very difficult to source so this synthetic herl makes a very good substitute.
