Collection: Body Quills

Body quills are an essential material for building realistic, segmented fly bodies with clean, consistent detail. Designed as a modern, durable alternative to natural peacock or stripped quill, synthetic body quills offer precise taper, transparency, and color control—allowing tiers to create lifelike patterns without the fragility of natural materials.

These quills are ideal for nymphs, emergers, dry flies, midges, and small attractor patterns, giving flies a natural, segmented appearance that fish instantly recognize. Their tapered shape produces a perfect body silhouette, while the translucent quality adds depth and natural light behavior when wet.

Body quill thread brings another dimension to your tying—wrapping smoothly to create tight, glossy, semi-transparent bodies that can be left bare, coated, or ribbed for additional realism. The wide range of colors—including fluorescent and holo variations—lets you match specific insects, enhance visibility, or add a subtle trigger point.

Durable, lightweight, and simple to use, body quills help tiers achieve professional results with minimal effort. Whether you’re tying modern Euro nymphs, realistic dry flies, or experimenting with new body techniques, body quills provide unmatched control, consistency, and realism.
