Whiting Super 'Bou
The Soft Feather for Lifelike Movement
Whiting Super 'Bou is a premium natural material from Whiting Farms, developed as an even finer and more dynamic alternative to traditional marabou. Produced from specially selected chicken feathers, Super 'Bou combines ultra-soft fibres, thin flexible stems and exceptional natural movement, creating lifelike action even in the slightest current. This makes it an outstanding choice for streamers, leech patterns, shrimp flies and saltwater patterns.
The feathers measure approximately 5–10 cm (2–4 inches) and are ideal for tying wings, tails, collars and palmer hackles. Their fine structure produces a slim, natural profile without excessive bulk, making them particularly effective for modern streamers and realistic baitfish, leech and shrimp imitations.
Whether you're tying Woolly Bugger, leech patterns, shrimp flies or modern predator streamers, Whiting Super 'Bou delivers exceptional movement, a wide range of colours and the premium quality that has made Whiting Farms one of the world's leading fly-tying feather producers.
