🪶 Attention all fly tyers: Black is officially canceled.
Move over, little black dress — there’s a new color in town, and it’s Bright Purple Chickabou Body Marabou Patch from Ewing Hackle.
Yes, I said it. Purple is the new black.
While the rest of you are still wrapping sad, lifeless black marabou that looks like it gave up halfway through the strip, this stuff comes alive the second it hits the water. Those long, webby, ultra-breathy fibers pulse and breathe like they’re personally offended by the idea of fish ignoring them. One slow strip and your Woolly Bugger suddenly turns into a disco party the trout can’t resist crashing.
It’s perfect for bodies, collars, tails, or full-on streamer seduction. Basically, it makes your flies look expensive and slightly dangerous — exactly how we like our fishing.
Look, we’ve all tied with “regular” marabou. We’ve all watched it clump, foul, and act like wet toilet paper. This? This is marabou that went to finishing school and came back with attitude.
So go ahead. Keep tying in boring black if you want to blend in with the crowd.
Or grab some Bright Purple Chickabou and make the fish question their life choices.
Your move, traditionalists. 😏
