Overview

Hareline Marabou Strung Blood Quills in Shrimp Pink bring a vibrant option to your fly tying kit. Known for a lively feather texture and a broad color range, these quills help you craft patterns with natural movement and bold visual appeal in varying light.

Why this marabou stands out

Crafted from real marabou feathers, the quills deliver softness, bounce, and a subtle sheen that respond to water and wind. The shrimp pink shade adds a touch of realism to patterns designed to imitate baitfish or small aquatic life, without relying on painted finishes. The combination of vivid color and authentic material makes it a popular choice among tiers who prioritize both appearance and handling.
