I bought one of these as a special order before they were a stocked item at JStockard. The only difference I can really see between this and the Bronze Grade is the Pro Grade might have fewer of the really small 22 and smaller hackles. There are a lot of great true #10 and even #8 hackles for large dries, which are becoming more and more difficult to find. At the saddle end of the neck, are some of the most outstanding long, semi-soft hackles for woolly buggers and other palmering needs. I bought the "barred dark ginger" and it truly is beautiful, with a lot of black, ginger, and white barring on many feathers; like the description says, cree. This is good stuff.
Whiting has, in my opinion, the best capes on the market bar none. The quality and consistency of the feathers is tremendous. If you are a new or seasoned tier looking into purchasing dry fly capes Whiting Farms is the only way to go.
Recently I bought - combo 1/2 capes grizzly+brown. Good quality feathers. Today I tie stimulator size 14, from one feather you can tie 2 flies (grizzly & brown). Feathers size from 6 to 20+, but not a lot of feathers on cape! No absorbent pad under skin!
