Whiting Bronze 1/2 Cape
The Professional Standard for Dry Fly Hackle
Whiting Bronze 1/2 Cape is one of the most popular dry fly hackles in the Whiting Farms range. It offers an outstanding balance of feather quantity, size variety and value, making it the preferred choice of both advanced and professional fly tyers.
Each cape is the result of decades of genetic breeding, producing feathers with exceptional density, thin and flexible stems, minimal fluff and a wide range of hook sizes. The result is premium dry fly hackle capable of tying hundreds of perfectly proportioned flies with excellent flotation.
What is the Whiting Bronze 1/2 Cape?
Whiting Bronze 1/2 Cape is a half rooster neck from Whiting Farms' premium dry fly series. It is specifically developed for tying dry flies and provides a generous selection of hackles covering a broad range of hook sizes.
Compared to the Pro Grade 1/2 Cape, the Bronze grade offers more usable feathers, a wider size range and a greater number of consistent feathers within each size. This makes it an excellent choice for fly tyers who tie regularly and want consistent results from every cape.
A half cape is also a practical option for those who want professional Whiting quality while purchasing several different colours instead of investing in multiple full capes.
