New Fulling Mill Jungle Cock Substitute!

New Synthetic Jungle Cock Subs from Fulling Mill

Fulling Mill have developed a new super realistic Jungle Cock feather substitute, printed on special durable, synthetic, sheet material offering a perfect alternative to the sought after and expensive real feather. There are four sizes of 'eye' image per sheet, each image being outline cut for consistency and convenience. The synthetic feathers are printed on both sides to give a natural effect, and are more durable than the real thing as well as being more cost effective. The Jungle Cock substitute is available now from Glasgow Angling Centre at £2.99 for a sheet of 38 feathers and of course if you still demand the real thing we always have some proper Jungle Cock feathers and capes in stock!

Fulling Mill will be using the substitute feathers on a fantastic new range of Salmon flies next year. ‘I am really excited about using the new Jungle Cock substitute as you can get a consistent result every time.’ Steve Carew – Technical Manager, Fulling Mill.

‘I have been looking at developing a substitute Jungle Cock feather for some time and although some have recently become available they did not meet all of our criteria, so I am delighted with this excellent product.’ Barry Unwin – Chairman, Fulling Mill.

‘I have been fly-tying for over 35 years and the new Fulling Mill Substitute Jungle Cock is the most advanced I have seen, it is user friendly, colourful and very durable. I think this highly innovative product is set to take the fly-tying market by storm.’ Ronald Sutherland – Internationally renowned Salmon Fly tyer and Fulling Mill consultant.
