Faith Piper –
This half saddle is exactly what I needed for my small mayfly patterns. The hackle holds its shape well and the Medium Dun color looks natural in the water. I’ve been using it for several weeks and it’s still performing strongly.
Dominic Randall –
Great value for the quality. The barbs are dense and the feathers don’t fray easily. I use it for both size 12 and 16 flies and it works smoothly in both cases.
Cameron Terry –
Solid performance, especially for the price. The color matches well with natural mayfly patterns. A bit more flexible than full saddles, but still reliable for daily tying.
Gordon Fisher –
I switched from a full saddle to this half saddle and found it much more manageable. The hackle is durable and the color is true to the Medium Dun standard.
