Description

This new '477' has been specially developed to replicate as close as possible to the classic Sawyer Bug tying wool. Originally Sawyer used Chadwick 477 and though perfectionists found other substitutes, they simply did not match the original  material for color. The Semperfli team had their Chadwick's 477 substitute spec'ed to match the original! It comes as a 3 ply, making tying of the nice thick Sawyer Killer Bug a cinch. To perfectly replicate the original Killer Bug simply split the 477 Substitute from 3 ply to one and it matches the diameter of the original 477.

suitable substitute for chadwick...

Reviewer: from Minneapolis

I've compared Chadwicks, Semperfli, Jamieson's oyster and Berroco ultra alpaca steel oats and found Semperfli to be asgood as any of them for making killer bugs. The Semperfli product is readily available and reasonably priced. You can tie lots of killer bugs with a card of the Chadwick's 477 substitute.

Killer bugs a plenty

Reviewer: from Springville, UT.

This stuff is as close to the original Chadwicks 477 color as you're going to get. One could easily tie 100's of Utah's Killer Bugs with 1 yarn card. Makes really nice buggy bodies on other patterns if picked out as well.

For the Killer Bug nothing better!

Reviewer: from Plainville, CT

A dozen Killer Bugs came together so quick with this material. Hold it with a hackle plier and wrap. Right before you start wrapping rotate the material counterclockwise (while in the hack plier and already attached to the hook) and you'll get a great segmenting on the body. The color is just awesome.
