I use Whiting American Hackle Bronze - what is nice about this hackle it has a lot of fluff and you can get lengths of 16cm + for the tail

Around the steel no tortur'd worm shall twine, No blood of living insect stain my line;
Let me, less cruel, cast feather'd hook, With pliant rod athwart the pebbled brook,
Silent along the mazy margin stray, And with fur-wrought fly delude the prey
A fairly recent pattern created by Chico Fernandez of Miami, Florida. Like most sea lures, it comes in a wide variety of colour permutations. It is used for such fish as sailfish,amberjack, redfish, tarpon and dolphin.

Handle every situation like a dog.- If you cant hump it, piss on it and walk away. --JASPER.
The Semper is a great fly. I hooked 3 consecutive Giant Kingfish on them in Mapotoland, (1) Olive (2) Chartuse (3) Black
There is not a single bad person on earth, only persons that have been badly influenced.
If you would like to be better person, remove the things that have a negative influence on you TODAY.
The sea - ducer is a tried and tested fly , looks similar to but in reality you can't compare it to the semper as the the semper ( AS Juan knows ) tail has to be tied in a particular fashion which gives it much more movement than a deceiver. Also Juan's description of the body makes for a big difference to tying a deceiver. Which is why Juan has such success with that fly. It was designed by Bob Popovicks and shown in his book Popfleyes. Hey Juan, how's the leeries lately, I am going to spend some time this winter targetting garrick with our sempers ( maye some profiles ) up this way. Lets see how it goes !

Yip ... I tied one in chinchilla for use in the EC to imitate a mullet, no luck that trip but then again, I found no Kabeljou at all.
One thing I can offer, the stiffer/more packed/bulkier the front hackles, the better the swimming action of the tail hackles.
