This saddle works well with my midge patterns. The barbs are dense and consistent, which helps with casting accuracy. I’ve used it for several weeks now and it holds up well in the field.
Blake Springer –
Good quality for the price. The hackle is uniform and the barbs are fine enough for small flies. A bit stiff at first, but settles in after a few uses.

I switched from a different brand and noticed a big difference in how the fly sits on the line. The density and uniformity of the barbs make it easier to tie small patterns.
