Whiting Pro Grade Cape

Whiting Pro Grade Cape – premium dry fly hackle.

The Whiting Pro Grade Cape by Whiting Farms is widely regarded as a benchmark in modern fly tying. Developed through decades of selective genetic breeding, it offers exceptional feather quality tailored specifically for dry fly tying.

Whiting hackle is known for its unmatched barb density, superior fiber strength, and an impressive range of usable sizes on a single cape. This allows tiers to efficiently tie everything from tiny midges to larger mayfly patterns with precision.

Key Features:

• Consistent high quality – strict grading standards across all capes
• Exceptional barb density – ensures superior flotation
• Strong, flexible quill – easy to work with and highly durable
• Over 85% web-free feathers – ideal for dry flies
• Wide size range on one cape – maximum versatility
• Reliable uniformity – no batch-to-batch variation

Whiting Olympic Grading System

The Whiting Farms Olympic Grading System ensures consistent evaluation of every cape. Unlike many producers, Whiting does not adjust grading based on demand or supply — only the true quality of the feathers matters.

Every feather must:

• feature a straight, supple quill
• have dense, uniform barbs
• be largely free of webbing

If a cape does not meet these standards, it is never released for retail.

Who is it for?

Perfect for:

• advanced fly tiers
• professional anglers
• anyone demanding premium quality materials

Ideal for tying:

• technical dry flies
• midge patterns
• mayfly imitations
• high-floating attractors
