Semperfli Straggle String
Semperfli from England is not only known for its Nano Silk thread, the thinnest and strongest tying thread in the world, but also for many other innovative tying materials.
Straggle String has recently become very popular amongst professional fly tiers, as the micro-chenille is thinner than any previous product on the market. The reason? It is made from only 2 fine strands and is therefore ideal for the smallest dry flies and nymphs, but also for fine Salmon flies. No wonder, as tying expert Hans van Klinken played a key role in the development of Straggle String, and today uses the material as a substitute for natural Peacock herl while tying the world-famous Klinkhammer Special. Not only can it be used to imitate a thorax or lively legs, but whole bodies can also easily be tied with the extremely durable micro-chenille - such as 'Czech Nymphs' or other delicate patterns. The advantage of the synthetic material in tying dry flies is that it does not absorb water, allowing the flies to swim better and longer on the surface. Of course, the final material is given a UV finish, which creates a nice shine and sparkle.
The wide range of natural tones and brightly colored iridescent colors offers you unlimited possibilities at the vice!
In the video above, Hans van Klinken ties his world-famous pattern: The Klinkhammer Emerger. This pattern - of course with a thorax made of Straggle String - drifts even flatter and mimics insects that are just rising. Irresistible to selective Grayling and Trout during a hatch!
