Also when it comes to hackle feathers for wet flies, streamers, salmon, and sea trout flies, Whiting is leading the pack. This is because the hen saddles from the American manufacturer not only offer a fantastic selection of natural colors but also an attractive price-performance ratio.
Each hen saddle boasts a variety of unique feathers for tying flies of different sizes – from small wet flies to medium-sized streamers. Spanning the entire feather, these saddles provide you with nearly consistent fiber length, and the extremely thin, highly stable stems undoubtedly make these feathers the best soft hackles on the market. Thanks to their fine structure, these hen hackles give your patterns excellent movement. The hen feathers are used both as body ribbing, for example, in streamers like the Woolly Bugger or the Magnus, and as head hackle. Moreover, the hen feathers are extremely popular among salmon and sea trout anglers because whether on the hook or the tube, the movement of the feathers, even in light currents, is brilliant!
