In the search for new and innovative products for fly tying, Dr. Tom Whiting has taken the average barnyard bird and created another fly tying marvel, the 4B line. The Roosters provide a supple quill, great for collaring, streamer wings, and quill bodies. Round, webby hen feathers are great for soft hackles, legs, wing cases, and even dry fly wings. The possibilities are endless!

The 4B’s (Bigger, Better, Bargain Birds) are a great domestic genetic replacement for Chinese hackle!

Capes with large, dense feathers and partial web, great for collaring or nymph legs.

Each cape / saddle listed is individually photographed here at the shop. So you are getting exactly what is what is pictured!
