Semperfli is known for smart tying materials such as Straggle String Micro Chenille. The extremely thin core makes it one of the finest Chenilles on the market. Due to this, it hardly adds any thickness to your fly, which enables very fine and delicate tying.
But, this isn’t the only specialty: In contrast to many other Chenielles, Straggle String has a reduced fibre density. This resolves into a well-dosed amount of fibres and not into a big lump. Therefore, it is very easy to create a convincing insect imitation. An insect-like iridescence is formed by the fairly reflective fibres. Subtle UV properties give the material a special appearance. Due to the extremely thin core, this material can be used for tiny flies of size 20 and bigger.
Furthermore, the thin core absorbs much less water than ordinary Chenilles, which makes it possible to use Straggle String for dry fly patterns. The delicateness of this material enables you to easily create legs in the thorax region of nymphs and dry flies. This Micro Chenille combined with a soft skin back makes a very easy, but super convincing Scud. The colour collection of the Straggle String Mixed Packs offers numerous options – from natural imitations all the way to striking lures.
Whenever you want to give your flies a realistic appearance by adding fine, iridescent legs Straggle String is the perfect choice. Details make all the difference, especially when tying small flies! In the tying video below Hans v. Klinken is introducing a world premiere: An emerger variation of his famous Klinkhammer. The 'Klinkhammer Emerger' is tied with Straggle String instead of peacock herl and is floating even deeper in the water surface. A great pattern when fish are selectively feeding on emerging insects during a hatch.
