The 4B rooster cape is very dense and holds its shape well when tying streamer wings. It’s a reliable choice for both freshwater and saltwater patterns. The quill is supple and easy to work with, though the color varies from the image, which is expected.

I’ve used this cape for several wooly buggers and it performs well. The hackle is dense and provides good structure. I understand the color may differ, but the quality is consistent and the material is durable.

Great for making saltwater deceivers. The quill is strong and the hackle stays intact during tying. Each cape feels unique, which adds character to the finished flies.
