The silver saddle delivers consistent hackle quality. I’ve tied over 50 dry flies using this batch and the fibers hold well without breaking. The barbs are dense and the stems are easy to work with. Great value for the amount of hackle provided.

Used this for a series of dry flies in a recent fishing trip. The hackle stayed intact through multiple casts and the flies looked natural. The silver color blends well with most waters.

Solid quality and good for tying small to medium-sized flies. A bit more expensive than some alternatives, but the durability and even fibers justify the price.
