$75.00 is a great price but it just depends on the grade of the cape. There is more than one grade.

Definitely, I just bought the C grade, as the flies are fished, and some of the nails are split, nothing a bit of clear nail polish can't fix, if I was trying flies for display I would have opted for the Grade A

Post by: HOOK on November 21, 2015, 07:49:58 PM: I also have 2 capes, barely use them. I could unload the smaller for $50 and I would have to look again but I don't think its ever been used and is a A or B grade cape.
