They Hackabou'd my bank account a couple of years ago. Sorry I couldn't help myself
Marabou originally came from the rump of Marabou Stark. Now days it comes from turkey rump feathers. Chickabou is from hen chicken rumps and is smaller and finer than turkey Marabou.

True for sure! The Chickabou I have is on hide with some laced Soft Hackle which I just love. See Pic below of this Rooster Soft Laced Hackle With Chickabou.Quote:

Well that is a question that is not a one answer thing. This being soft hackle it comes like this kind of Rooster, but there are other kinds of soft hackle like hens, but they also sell some Soft Hackle loose in packs, this would be Grizzly soft hackle. How about another picture, lol!Quote:

Here is one of their Soft Hackle Marabou Patch. I don't know if they are all as large as the one I have which is like 12"x11", so pretty large.

That’s some good looking feathers Skip, never seen any like that. The dark light contrast is cool.
It's really nice stuff Skeet. That Laced soft Rooster Laced Hackle I love as a collar too. I have used them as a tail too.
See pic of the color below. See if I can find one with these as a tail.

This is a Laced Hackle collar!

These 3 bluegill jig flies olive chickabou collars on them. They are #12's. Only place I have used chickabou so far. I don't see it very useful for larger jigs but could be wrong. Attachment 367031
