POLISH QUILLS Stripped Peacock Quills
Product Description
Polish quills are hand-stripped peacock eye feathers used in fly tying to create realistic, segmented bodies on dry flies and nymphs.
What They Are
- Material: They come from the stem of peacock eye feathers.
- Processed: The fuzzy herl is stripped off and the quill is often polished or treated.
- Look: They show a distinct, contrasting two-tone ribbing when wrapped around a hook.
Why Tiers Use Them
- Realism: They mimic the segmented bodies of natural insects like mayflies and caddis.
- Strength: Stripped quills can be fragile, but treated or coated Polish quills are easier to wrap without breaking.
- Durability: Tiers usually coat the wrapped quill with a thin layer of UV resin or varnish for extra strength.
