The stunning Bronze Rooster Capes from Whiting are a top choice for tying dry flies – whether it's classic Adams or modern Stimulator patterns. They impress with a record amount of differently sized feathers – from extremely small (down to hook size 20 and smaller) to relatively large feathers for bushy dry flies or to spice up your streamers. Thanks to their flexible yet sturdy stems, they are easy to work with. Additionally, their stiff fibers provide excellent buoyancy to your dry flies. Furthermore, these feathers exhibit a nearly consistent fiber length, which is advantageous for tying dense and uniform hackle collars, for example. Besides dry flies, these capes are also suitable for tying streamers – such as using them as body hackle for a Wooly Bugger or to add the finishing touch to larger pike or saltwater streamers.
The Bronze Capes strike the perfect balance between quality and affordability. One feather typically covers 6-8 hook sizes (e.g., #10-18), is easy to handle, and is the right choice for 90% of fly tyers.
In short, these stunning rooster capes are an absolute dream for tying dry flies. Thanks to their Bronze classification, they offer unbeatable value for money. They are sure to bring a smile to every passionate fly tyer's face!
