Quite possibly the best “bang for your buck” that exists when buying quality chicken feathers, Whiting’s Bugger Pack is loaded with a range of feather sizes in order to make it easy whether you’re tying up a dozen Wooly Buggers or a large Hex dry fly. Whiting designed their Bugger Packs to provide consistent quality when tying Wooly Buggers of all sizes, however, these unique feather patches extend their applications far beyond just that. These feathers have great length and a very flexible stem, making them a solid choice whether you’re palmering a Bugger, adding a collar on a streamer, winding a dry fly, or building a large saltwater streamer. With each pack containing two patches, you get a variety of sizes, allowing you to tie large and small fly patterns with ease. Whiting dyes their Bugger Packs in a range of colors while also including a wide list of natural colors, so whether you’re tying up a Wooly Bugger to imitate crayfish or need to match the pastel hues found on a bunker, these feathers have you covered for it all. 

Uses

Although Whiting made their Bugger Packs for, well, tying Wooly Buggers, these feathers do much more than just that. With a wide assortment of feather sizes, you can turn to your Bugger Pack for applications like hackling a dry fly or wrapping a collar on a wet fly, and the long feathers work exceptionally well when building large flies for saltwater scenarios or when pursuing massive predatory fish in freshwater.

Comparisons

It’s tough to beat the quality and range of feathers that you get for the price of Whiting’s Bugger Packs, but if you need a substitute, Hareline has you covered with their Bugger Hackle Patches. Just like Whiting’s option, you get two patches of feathers here and you can use them almost exactly as you would Whiting’s Bugger Patch. However, we have found that the patches on Hareline’s option tend to be smaller with less variety in terms of feather lengths and density, which is reflected in the cheaper price. Aside from quality and the amount of feathers/feather types, these two products are quite similar, but if you’re looking to tie a ton of flies, it’s best to go with the quality that Whiting’s known for.
