Whiting Farms Rooster Bronze 1/2 Cape is derived from the back of the rooster, offering superior quality feathers that set industry standards. These half-capes provide feathers with soft stems and exceptional fiber density, suitable for a variety of sizes up to size 20 hooks. This product is the direct descendant of the legendary Hoffman grizzly super feather stocks, renowned for their excellence. The Bronze grade is particularly prized for its unrivalled value for money and covers, according to Tom Whiting, 90% of fly tyers' needs. On average, one feather of this half-cape can be used to tie one fly, with sizes ranging from 5 to 6 hook sizes, from number 10 to 18. The brown color can be obtained by dyeing if the natural color is not available, while the other colors are natural, unless otherwise specified. The new "barred dark ginger" shade is an ideal alternative to the often hard-to-find cree.
