Is it the magic ingrediant to a fly and worth the money..?? I must admit it seems to work but I cannot justify the cost of a cape. I dislike the substitutes BTW....they don't feel right to me.

The original and the best..no substitute comes even close..pity that most of the cheaper capes on the market have not got a good selection of sizes..pay extra for a quality cape if possible..and yes! it works..and its worth experimenting ive even used it on lures

I'll second that, well worth the money IMO.

A Cats Whisker, for example, with JC cheeks makes all the difference.

Bite the bullet, Tinca but try to find a cape that off a 'farm'-raised bird - there are a few about.
