This saddle delivers exactly what it promises. The hackle is dense and holds its shape well. I’ve used it to tie several dry flies, and they float perfectly on the water. The shade is unique and adds character to each fly.

Great quality and consistency. The size matches the photo, and the hackle is very stiff. It’s become a staple in my fly-tying kit. Highly recommend for serious dry fly tyers.
Molly Young –
Solid product. The floating performance is excellent. A bit more variation in shade than expected, but that’s part of the charm. Works well with my current fly patterns.
