The barring is very consistent and looks natural on my streamers. I’ve used them on several buggers and the color holds well even after multiple dips in water. The feathers are easy to work with and don’t fall apart during tying.
Adrian Taylor –
I’ve tried several brands before, but these are the first that actually maintain their pattern without fading. The bar-dying process gives a realistic mottled effect that matches what I see in the wild.
Nicholas Quinn –
Good quality feathers with solid length. The barring is even and holds up well in the water. A bit more variation in the bar spacing than I’d like, but still very usable for most fly patterns.
