Whiting Chick-A-Bou
The Soft Feather for Lifelike Movement
Whiting Chick-A-Bou is a unique natural material developed by Whiting Farms, combining the ultra-soft texture of Chick-A-Bou feathers with premium soft hackles. The fibres are finer and softer than traditional marabou, producing exceptional movement even in the slightest current. This makes Chick-A-Bou a favourite material for streamers, nymphs, wet flies and saltwater patterns where lifelike motion is essential.
The feathers can be used for tails, wings, collars, legs and bodies, while the included soft hackles are perfect for classic Soft Hackle flies. Their natural pulsating action creates incredibly realistic movement underwater, making them ideal for imitating leeches, damselfly nymphs, shrimp and baitfish.
Whether you're tying Woolly Bugger, Damsel Nymph, Leech Patterns or modern streamers, Whiting Chick-A-Bou delivers outstanding movement, a wide colour selection and the premium quality that has made Whiting Farms one of the most respected names in fly tying.
