Marabou

Marabou for fly tying

This category brings together marabou feathers for fly tying. The active range includes Whiting Farms Super 'Bou, JMC Marabout and JMC Marabout Large.

Why use marabou?

Marabou is valued for its soft fibres and strong movement in the water. It is widely used on streamers, tails, bodies and other patterns where volume is wanted without excessive stiffness.

Choose by required volume

Fibre length and density directly affect the finished profile. Longer fibres suit fuller or more mobile patterns, while using less material keeps the fly slimmer.

Tie marabou with control

Avoid overcrowding the hook: a small amount of well-positioned fibre is often enough to create movement. Match the quantity to pattern size and the intended effect.
