This saddle performs excellently in tying floating dry flies. The hackle is dense and holds its shape well. The bronze shade matches my fly pattern perfectly. I’ve used it for several weeks and it still looks great.
Joanne Ferguson –
The quality of the hackle is outstanding. It’s stiffer than other saddles I’ve tried, which helps with float stability. The size is accurate as described and the photo matches the actual product.
Neil Rutherford –
Good for dry fly tying, especially in calm waters. The color is consistent with the photo. A bit more variation than expected, but still within the expected range for a natural hackle.
