The Whiting Chickabou is one of the best marabou materials on the market, coming from the same famous chickens as the Spey Hackles. It features slightly finer, smaller feathers and delivers incredible movement in fly patterns.
This feather material is extremely soft, providing an enticing action in the water. As a result, Chickabou is not only widely used in Woolly Buggers but also in various other streamers and sea trout flies. It is as easy to use as marabou feathers. Salmon and steelhead anglers also appreciate this soft material and frequently use it in tube flies and the well-known Intruder flies for the wild steelheads of British Columbia. No matter the pattern—whether in lakes, rivers, or saltwater—the fine feathers perform impressively and move underwater like crazy.
