Filstar Cock Cape
The Classic Feather for Dry Flies
Filstar Cock Cape features premium rooster neck feathers carefully selected for tying dry flies, nymphs and traditional fly patterns. Thanks to their stiff, resilient fibres and the wide range of feather sizes available across the cape, a single neck provides hackle suitable for everything from tiny mayfly imitations to larger dry fly patterns.
Rooster hackle is one of the most important materials in dry fly tying. The stiff barbs support the fly on the water's surface, helping it float naturally while maintaining the correct profile. In addition to hackle, the feathers can also be used for tails, wings and a variety of traditional tying applications.
Whether you're tying Adams, Elk Hair Caddis, Royal Wulff or countless other classic dry flies, Filstar Cock Cape delivers the versatility, durability and reliable performance that every fly tier appreciates.

FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDATIONUse the smaller feathers from the top of the cape for tiny dry flies and the larger feathers from the lower section for bigger patterns. This allows you to get the most from a single cape while covering virtually every dry fly hook size. |
