Pheasant Ring-necked roosters are popular in fly tying for their feathers from tail. Long and nice colors in different shades of brown, these feathers are used for making nymphs, dry flies and wet flies. What is important here is the length of the barbs. Longer barbs means much easy to make bigger flies or nice colored bodies. Then long feathers are better colored than the short ones which is good to know. These are facts that are appreciated by experimented tiers who know exactly what they want to buy.

- Long and nice Review by Marco
I received my order very fast. never received so fast from you. I'm happy for that and I'm happy that you deliver with DHL, very nice people :)Rating
About tail, I like it, it is the best I used in years of tying. barbs are long, nice and durable, difficult to broke them. That means that your feathers are not old. Very good indeed. (Posted on 6/6/2019)- Excelente! Review by Emil

Am primit comanda si penele sunt impresionante. Nu stiu de la ce fazani le luat cozile dar eu nu am vazut in vita mea asa pene lungi.Rating
Pacat ca nu aveti din astea si vopsite. (Posted on 10/1/2018)- beautiful feathers Review by Jean-Marc
I like your PT feathers because are nice and the barbs are long enough to tie flies on big hooks. Thank you Sir! (Posted on 9/17/2018)Rating - very good quality Review by Michal
I agree, these feathers are very good. The quality is the best and the barbs are very long. In the past I used Veniard feathers but these are by far the best that I used. With Veniard barbs I needed to fix barns 2 times on the hook shank to complete the entire body. These are long enough to tie flies even on size #10. (Posted on 9/16/2018)Rating
