Whiting Co-Op - The Sequel

Yep...back by popular demand...the next Whiting Co-Op is being launched.

You may have missed out on the last ones...or wished you had signed up for more when you saw what a great deal they were...or this is the first you have heard of such a thing. Here's a fantastic opportunity to get your hands on some of Whiting Farms premium hackle products at stupendous prices. This is a cooperative effort presented by the participants, the Virtual Flybox, Whiting Farms and Line's End...no where else is this concept being offered.

A brief synopsis...

Basically Whiting Dry Fly Saddles are plucked and divided amongst the participants. For each grouping to which you subscribe, you will receive a very generous package of hackles in the colors presented. Each pack is well in excess of Whiting's own popular 100 Packs. Select individuals (pluckers) will do the dismantling and packaging of the feathers and they will then be distributed among all the participants.

This go-around will include some items that many of you have requested...Hebert Miner Capes, and Brahma Hen Saddles and Brahma Hen Capes w/Chickabou. Some of these will require handling that is not consistent with past Co-Ops due to the impracticality of the traditional methods.

Being offered are...

Three groups of Whiting Rooster Saddles. Whiting's bread and butter...these are the finest hackle feathers available ANYWHERE!

One group of Whiting Midge Saddles. If you tie dry flies that are size 18 and below...these feathers are for you.

Two groups of Hebert Miner Dry Fly Capes. These capes represent one of the finest values in dry fly capes available in today's market place. These are perfect and come in some great attractive colors. The capes will be divided in half so you will be getting a total of 2 full pelts.

One group of the new Whiting Brahma Hen Saddle. A wonderful substitute for partridge hackle and much easier to tie with. Nicely mottled and dyed to some great shades. Like the Hebert capes these will be divided similarly. You will get 1/2 of four colors...total 2 full pelts.

One group of the new Whiting Brahma Hen Capes w/Chickabou. These capes have maller feather sizes than the Brahma saddles with the bonus of nice soft Chickabou. Nicely mottled and dyed to some great shades. Like the Hebert capes these will be divided similarly. You will get 1/2 of four colors...total 2 full pelts.

Some ground rules...

Since we are attempting to offer these Co-Ops on an ongoing basis there will be no sign-up deadline this time. Because of logistics, some color adjustments may have to be made.

Initial shipments should begin around the end of February and continue in a timely fashion afterwards. Short periodic delays are possible due to availability of certain groupings, but we will do our best to deliver products promptly.

Pluckers are NEEDED! Unfortunately, to avoid delays, pluckers must reside in the USA. Please don't volunteer as a plucker unless you can reasonably perform your duties in a very short time. All packaging materials and return shipping will be provided.

Acceptable forms of payments include MasterCard, Visa, Discover, PayPal, Checks and Money Orders. All credit card payments will not be billed until shipments are made.

A web page...<http://www.linesend.com/product/whiting_swap.shtml>...has been set up to aid in your decisions. All groups are listed and described.

So, the time is now...sign up today.

Thanks and keep tyin'...byard
