Nathan Mackay –
This silver-grade saddle works perfectly for my dry fly patterns. The hackle is dense and holds its shape well in water. I’ve used it for several seasons and it’s still performing strongly.
Jacob Wilson –
The quality of the hackle is outstanding. It floats better than any other saddle I’ve tried. The color is true to the photo and the size fits my tying needs perfectly.
Piers Jackson –
Great product, very consistent with the image. A bit harder to work with than expected due to the stiffness, but it’s worth it for the floating performance.
