Great quality hackle material. The rooster hackle is sturdy and the chickabou is soft and fine. Works well with my small streamers and nymphs. The feathers are naturally dyed and look authentic on the water.
Victoria Fraser –
Received the saddle as expected. The hackle is good for larger patterns, and the chickabou adds a nice touch for small flies. Colors are vibrant but not exactly as in the photo. Still very satisfied with the product.

Used this in both dry fly and nymph setups. The soft hackle holds well and the chickabou blends naturally. Each pelt feels different, which is great for variety in patterns.
