Description / Whiting Farm's 4B Rooster Cape
The Whiting Farms 4B Rooster Cape is a testament to innovation in genetic breeding, transforming the average "barnyard bird" into a fly tying marvel. Standing for "Bigger, Better, Bargain Birds," this line offers exceptional value and versatility, providing the modern tyer with a unique feather texture that bridges the gap between genetic dry fly hackle and traditional utility feathers.
Whiting Farms is the undisputed world leader in the production of fly tying feathers. Under the guidance of Dr. Tom Whiting, the company manages unparalleled genetic stocks, breeding birds specifically for the unique needs of fly tyers. Their dedication to quality, consistency, and genetic integrity makes them the gold standard in the industry. The 4B line is the result of Dr. Tom Whiting's specific search for new utility in fly tying materials. By genetically selecting and improving upon the characteristics of superior "barnyard" fowl, Whiting has created a bird that produces a significantly larger pelt with higher quality feathers than standard utility grades. The focus here is not on stiff, dry fly barbs, but on creating a supple quill and a durable, workable feather that maintains a "buggy" appeal.
The key feature of the 4B Rooster Cape is its incredible versatility and the supple nature of the quill. Unlike the stiff stalks of high-grade dry fly capes, the 4B rooster feathers have a flexible stem that wraps beautifully, making them excellent for collaring on wet flies. The feathers are substantial and durable, making them a perfect choice for streamer wings where silhouette and movement are required. Furthermore, the quills themselves are of such high quality that they are excellent for creating segmented quill bodies when stripped. True to the "Bargain" name, these capes offer a large amount of usable material at an accessible price point.
The Whiting Farms 4B Rooster Cape is available as a full cape in a variety of natural and dyed colours.
Key Features:
Bigger, Better, Bargain Birds
Supple Quill
Streamer Wings
Quill Bodies
Versatile Application
Large Pelt
