FFGene Peacock sword tails

FFGene Peacock sword tails are natural peacock sword tail feathers from the side sections of the tail. The product contains 1 pair, or 2 feathers. Their metallic green lustre and compact, long fibres allow the tier to cut or align clear sections for wings and tails.

Construction and use

Peacock swords are a classic material for wet-fly wings. In the Alexandra, they form the characteristic wing and tail accents. They also work well for tails, streamer toppings and decorative salmon-fly elements. Their natural metallic green colour combines a useful structural role with a visible accent on the finished fly. The pair helps the tier select similar sections for opposite sides of a wing.
