UV2 Strung Schlappen is dyed with ultraviolet reflectance treatment which helps fish to see the fly and spot it easily from surroundings.

Schlappen is the material for big fish imitations. For example, Schlappen is used in the Marabou Deceiver -fly as a tail material. For one fly 4-6 feathers is a good amount.

Schlappens can also be used as a body hackle in salmon and tube flies. Schlappen has soft and long webby fibres and will create lively flies. It will work also in the slow current.

Feathers are 10 - 17 cm long. Each package contains about 20 feathers as shown on the photo. Because schlappen is a product of the nature, color tones may vary.

Ultravision UV2 is a proprietary process of dying that enhances material, adds visibility and natural color spectrums. It doesn't automatically mean that the material will shine when pointed with UV light. Double dye process gives UV2 materials and flies the added UVF/UVR ultraviolet wave lengths. It works in the following two ways:

• UVF is the UV Fluorescence. It is common on everything from street signs to bass lures. Lighter colors have stronger UVF effect on human eyes. Darker colors do not have this effect.
• UVR is the UV Reflectance. It is a spectrum of wave lengths humans can not perceive yet is extremely common in the animal and insect world. UVR allows mayflies to find mates, and bees to find flowers. Many male birds and bugs have a strong natural UVR signature.
