Whiting Farms Rooster Pro Grade 1/2 Cape

The Whiting Farms Rooster Pro Grade 1/2 Cape is the ultimate cape for dry flies, renowned for its stiff, dense feathers to make the world's best floating dry flies. Available in half-cape (left or right), this product benefits from Whiting's Olympic grading system, a method developed to consistently evaluate capes and saddles across all dry fly product lines. At Whiting Farms, skin grading does not vary from crop to crop or lot to lot. It is not adjusted to meet commercial or financial requirements, nor to satisfy consumer demand. This grading method remains constant over the years, avoiding any bias that might distort the real value of the hide. When grading, one rule remains: the quality of the nib is always constant. Every dry fly feather has a soft, untwisted backbone, dense fiber, and over 85% down-free surface. If a skin does not meet these fundamental criteria, it is never sold at retail.
