The saddle is exactly as described. The burnt orange color is vibrant and the gold grade gives it a strong, durable feel. It’s perfect for tying floating dry flies that stay on top of the water. The unique shade makes each fly stand out in the stream.

I’ve used this saddle for several weeks now and it holds up well in both dry and wet conditions. The hackle is dense and the fly floats beautifully. The color is rich and consistent with the photo.

Great quality for the price. The saddle is sturdy and the color matches the image. A bit harder to work with than some other hackles, but worth it for the performance.
