Tie Wapsi Ostrich Herl in as tails, gills, and buggy bodies when you want marabou-like movement on a stiffer stem that holds its shape in heavy water.
Specifications
Best for: Woolly Bugger tails, gilled nymphs, scud and sowbug bodies, and salmon fly butts.
Related: For longer herl, see Ostrich Herl 10 - 12 inches by Hareline. For the classic herl body, see Strung Peacock Herl - 5" - 7".
Twist a few strands together and wrap them like yarn for a fuzzy body, or counter-wrap with fine wire to make it last.
