This saddle works perfectly for my dry fly tying. The density of the hackle helps the flies float better than others I’ve tried. The bronze shade matches my setup well and feels sturdy in hand.

Good quality and consistent with the photo. A bit stiff at first, but after a few uses it feels natural. Works well with medium-sized dry flies.
