Why Would Fly Tyers Love This Product?

This material is highly regarded for its:
✔ long flowing fibers
✔ exceptional water movement

Compared to stiffer hackle materials, schlappen provides a softer, more fluid movement that creates lifelike breathing action with even minimal current movement.

• steelhead intruders
• baitfish movement
• modern articulated flies
• premium professional patterns

The feather structure allows tyers to create flies with:
