These Polish Quills are a fantastic product if you want to add a little flair to your nymph and wet fly box. I ended up wasting the first few before I got the hang of the proper tension for wrapping these up the hook shank, but after that they've been a joy to use. Multitude of colors and the natural fade of the stripped quill makes for nice, segmented abdomen look on nymphs and wet flies - and I'm sure they'd do the trick for dries as well. Be sure to use a little UV Resin to coat the quill once it's on the hook!
I purchased a few colors to try out and have to say they are awesome. Colors are as advertised and the quality is superb. They make great segmented mayfly bodies.
I will definitely be ordering more of these in the future.
These quills are great. I bought them trying to save time working with biots and it paid off. You can tie them in either direction, concave or not, and still get a nice smooth segmented body. Great for dries or nymphs. Very durable and you get about 2 size 16 flies out of each quill, or about 3 size 18's. I coat with Solarez for durability and a wet look. Highly recommended.
Great product exactly as described. The colors I ordered were virtually identical to those pictured. Great segmentation with endless possibilities.
One word of warning, the quills are about 2 to 2.5" in length so you're limited to about a size 14. With no pictures to show scale I was quite surprised at the length.
It makes for some really sexy bodies. It's a shame I only ordered one pack this time around. I love the way they look. It's the kind of material that when you first bring it into your repertoire all your old flies look like trash.
