The Whiting Heritage Hackle Capes are the colours of yesteryear from the days of Ted Hebert and Andy Miner and then the quality has been improved by Dr.Tom Whiting with his selective breeding program. The Heritage hackle is all about the most sought after hard to get colours like Speckled Badger, Speckled Duns and the Champagne range of colours and those very special Unique Variants that you only see once in a while!! Owning a Heritage Hackle Cape is something to treasure as the colouration on most is unique with each saddle being very special in its own right. Heritage Capes will give a bigger range of sizes enabling you to tie those larger sizes so if you tie a large range of sizes capes might be the better option!!! On average they will tie 10-12-14-16-18
Whiting Heritage Hackles Rooster Cape in Mixed Colours, capes are very consistent in quality and pelt size in each grade with each grade being graded on the range of sizes the cape will tie so again each grade is very consistent!!! Heritage Capes will tie on average size 18-16-14-12-10 approx. some might go smaller but to be honest these are the proper fishing sizes we all need so as you can see capes give a bigger range of sizes than saddles
