Hareline Iridescent Black Schlappen Feathers

We might be biased because natural sheens, hues, and shades straight from the bird are incredibly appealing to us, but Hareline's Iridescent Black Schlappen Feathers are truly exceptional. These Schlappen feathers are high-quality and sport a natural iridescent sheen that gives your flies a look like nothing else can, while their webby properties add seductive flow and movement to your flies. Useful for a wide range of applications, from large musky streamers to smaller saltwater flies and everything in between natural Black Schlappen Feathers are easy to work with and are an excellent choice whether you're tying up some large black Semper Fleyes or adding a bold natural look to your favorite pike fly that's destined for muddy water.

Uses

Traditionally, Schlappen is an extremely versatile material, and these feathers are no exception. Hareline's Iridescent Black Schlappen Feathers can be used for various purposes, from long tails to collars, and their webby fibers create perfectly dense heads on flies such as Feather Game Changers or Semper Flies.

Comparisons

If you simply want a large webby feather without the natural sheen, Hareline's Rooster Schlappen makes a fine alternative. These feathers are sourced from the same area of the male bird as the Iridescent Black Schlappen Feathers, but they lack the dark natural sheen and coloration. Depending on the fly's pattern or color you're tying, one may suit your needs better.
