Whiting Variety Pack

At Feather Craft, we love materials that open the door to creativity, and the Whiting Variety Pack is one of the most versatile collections you can add to your tying bench. When we want a broad selection of hackle without committing to a full saddle or cape, this is the pack we reach for. Each assortment is thoughtfully curated to give you a mix of high-quality Whiting feathers perfect for dry flies, wets, nymphs, and even small streamers.

What makes our Variety Pack so valuable is the range it provides. Each pack includes a combination of hackle types—typically from different Whiting lines—giving you multiple colors, sizes, and textures to explore. You might find dry-fly saddle hackle alongside softer hen or wet-fly feathers, all selected to give you maximum tying options. Whether you're crafting traditional patterns, experimenting with new designs, or building out your material collection, the Variety Pack delivers a ready-made palette of feathers that encourages experimentation.

We love using these packs for filling fly boxes quickly and efficiently. The dry-fly hackle provides reliable buoyancy and crisp, clean profiles for classic dries and parachutes. The softer feathers are perfect for nymph collars, soft hackles, emergers, and buggy wet flies with lifelike motion. Because each pack contains numerous usable feathers across a wide range of sizes, you get tremendous value—perfect for tyers who want quality without the price tag of full premium saddles or capes.

The Whiting Variety Pack is also an excellent choice for new tiers. It lets you test different hackle styles, learn their characteristics, and discover what you enjoy working with most. Experienced tiers appreciate the convenience and diversity, too, especially when they want to try new patterns or restock key materials.

We keep these packs on our own benches because they spark creativity and make tying more fun. If you want versatility, quality, and inspiration in a single package, our Whiting Variety Pack is an unbeatable addition to your fly-tying arsenal.
