Available in limited supply from UK stock, much sought after for salmon and sea trout flies (jungle cock has a natural fluorescence and as you know this feather just finishes a fly off). Used on pot belly pigs, salmon and shrimp flies. Try jungle cock on a Cascade or Allys Shrimp. Higher grades generally yield more feathers - the Normal grade are usually quite good capes. Please specify if you prefer a lighter or darker shade of plumage.
Grade A - £72 Grade B - £60 Normal Grade £48.
We also usually have a few capes at £36.
Plumage Shade: Lighter Darker
We use a lot of jungle cock on our own flies and these are the top part of the cape containing mainly large feathers, due to the nature of the cape most larger feathers are split (illustration shows a typical cape) but can be used as slips or on tube flies etc. Floo Gloo (Page 9) is ideal for repairing these feathers. The Badger marked side plumage is ideal for centre body shrimp hackles.
