Perdigum: Thin, marbled strips for brilliant and durable fly patterns
Perdigum is a modern material designed to offer brilliance, strength, and realism in the creation of perdigones, nymphs, and whitefish larvae. Composed of extremely thin, elastic strips with marbled and metallic appearances, it allows for segmented bodies with a unique look that are highly attractive underwater. This combination of suppleness, brilliance, and texture makes it a must-have for fly tiers seeking high-performance and long-lasting patterns.
Perdigum's main advantage lies in its marbled effect, which immediately creates a natural, irregular, and vibrant appearance. Fish respond very well to this subtle contrast, especially on perdigones and fast-moving nymphs, where light reflection plays a key role.
The strips are also very elastic, which makes them considerably easier to work with. Their stretchability offers complete control over the body's thinness: stretched further, they become translucent and fine; used with less tension, they provide more volume and a more intense metallic effect. This versatility allows you to adapt the patterns to all hook sizes.
Perdigum is perfectly suited for creating:
- bright and strong perdigones,
- highly attractive marbled nymphs,
- fine and natural-looking whitefish larvae,
flexible legs for streamers and poppers.
Its high strength guarantees excellent durability. The material withstands tension, tight wrapping, and fish teeth without tearing. Once coated with UV resin, it becomes extremely robust and retains all its shine.
In short, perdigum is a supple, bright, marbled, and highly versatile material, perfect for creating modern, strong, and irresistible patterns.
