This is the ultimate dry fly saddle! Offering the stiffest and most dense hackles on the market, this saddle performs perfectly on the vise. Whiting is the first choice for professional tiers worldwide. The ultimate saddle for size 10-18 dry flies. The grading of saddles and capes tends to cause confusion. All you need to remember is that all Whiting capes/saddles are of equal quality no matter their grade. The grading is only based on the feather count per saddle/cape, and the sizes of flies that those feathers can tie. A platinum saddle/cape will typically have more feathers and tie smaller flies than a bronze saddle/cape. Saddles typically have a more narrow hook size range than capes, but also have longer and more uniform feathers for tying multiple flies using a single feather. Whiting Farms was founded in 1989 by Dr. Tom Whiting. His vision was to produce the most premium selection of fly tying feathers possible - and he has done just that.

Bought this and saw the price and I was very nervous. It came in the mail and I was stunned at the amount I was given. Says it can tie about 787 flies which is more than I can handle. Quality is very professional grade and might never have to buy more hackle ever again.

Great quality hackle at a great price! Can always count on JS to have stock.
I got two of these saddles and have nothing but good things to say. Nice long consistent feathers with densely arranged stiff barbules.
I love these, they are really nice and the prefect size.
Whiting hackle is easily the best and the pro grade saddles offer the best value in their red line of saddle products. Long thin consistent feathers with stiff barbs that keep your flies floating.
Hi , I am after a few saddles can you please tell meSizes, quantity and colours in a saddle?
When it comes to dry fly hackle, there is nothing better than Whiting Farms hackles, period.Because of how Whiting gades their pelts and capes, it doesn't matter the grade, the individual feathers are all the same high quality. Whiting grades their pelts and capes based off of the amount of flies it can tie, which is typically several hundred flies (sometimes more), even on their lowest grade (Pro Grade).Each individual feather is uniform in size, they all have high barb density and each feather is capable of tying several flies (sometimes a dozen or more depending on the pattern and size of fly). The color spectrums of the feathers are vast and beautiful, particularly the naturals, which are phenomenal! Which is also one reason why there are a lot of "hackle ... MoreWhen it comes to dry fly hackle, there is nothing better than Whiting Farms hackles, period.Because of how Whiting gades their pelts and capes, it doesn't matter the grade, the individual feathers are all the same high quality.

Whiting hackle is probably the best hackle available to fly tyers today. The whiting Bronze grade saddle I received had feathers ranging from size 12-24 and enough feathers to tie 1000's of flies. I have never had this great of variety from any other brand of hackle.
