Whiting Farms Bronze Saddle - Grizzly

Whiting Farms Bronze Saddle Hackle is a premium rooster feather product used primarily for tying dry flies. It consists of long, narrow feathers taken from the saddle area of a specially bred rooster. The feathers are prized for their consistent quality and tying characteristics. 

Whitings grading system grades skins by their feather quality, size range, and consistency.

Bronze is a mid-grade option, typically offering good dry-fly tying performance at a lower price than the higher grades such as Silver and Gold.

Key characteristics

• Feather length: Long feathers allow you to tie multiple flies from a single feather.

• Barbs: Fine, relatively stiff fibers that help create a full, uniform hackle collar.

• Stiffness: Provides good flotation when wrapped around dry-fly hooks.

• Density: Plenty of closely spaced fibers for creating attractive, durable hackle.
