We use a large variety of foams to provide our customers with the maximum choice. Our foam is made in the U.K. as this gives much better performance over imported foam.

 

CASTLE FOAM

FLAT FOAM

 

General purpose foams can be used for most flies, but is less good for hackled and larger spider flies. A huge number of flies can be accommodated in a box, available for all our Richard Wheatley boxes.
