Perdigon Body
Perdigons, first developed by the Spanish fly fishing team and popularised by the French are in use worldwide. The Perdigon nymph is simple, it is the small slim profile and weigh that caused them to sink rapidly even in fast water.
Originally tied on conventional hooks many are now frequently tied on jig hooks. Key to Perdigons is a nymph like body color. Create an ultra smooth body that can be achieved by threads like Nano Silk.
The Semperfli R&D team fished created a 1/69”/0.37mm body material and decided on a range of deadly colours and triggers for their Perdigon Body material. Following fishing trials they decided on a range of iridescent and transluscent colours that suited Perdigon patterns and added in Fluoro and Luminous Perdigon Body tinsels that could be used for complete bodies or as highlight ribs to act as an additional trigger.
