Synthetic JC (Jungle Cock)

Synthetic JC is a beautifully realistic, reliable and strong artificial alternative to expensive and difficult to legally obtain natural gray junglefowl (Gallus sonneratii) or JC feathers. Synthetic JC will enhance any fly pattern from salmon flies to trout nymphs. 

The Synthetic JC "feathers" are very easy to use, have proven to be effective and resilient. Synthetic JC is specially designed to imitate gray junglefowl (Gallus sonneratii) or JC which is CITES protected. As fly tyers we need to act before it is too late for this species.

Previously artificial synthetic gray junglefowl (Gallus sonneratii) or JC feather were prone to both making flies spin or ripping when used. We designed our Synthetic JC with a thicker but supple material. Indeed during testing one fly held up to 6 salmon hit without damage.

If you are used to using natural gray junglefowl (Gallus sonneratii) or JC, you will be used to split feathers no doubt. You can say bye-bye to split feathers by using Synthetic JC. Every feather is perfect every time.

If you would like some tips on how to make your Synthetic JC even more realistic why not try adding a resin blob to the nail to give it a 3d effect or try using a black permanent marker pen around the edge of the Synthetic JC to give a fantastic finish hiding the white edging for an even more realistic look.
