By far the best quality on the market, the Whiting Platinum Saddle! Platinum is the highest grade awarded by Whiting and is distinguished by an indescribably high quality of each feather and fiber. Only saddles or capes that are truly outstanding make it to this level of quality, and not just at first glance. With the Whiting Platinum Saddle, you can easily tie 1500 small dry flies, each one better than the last
Whiting saddles are an excellent choice for tying dry flies – whether classic Adams or modern Stimulators. They impress with a record-breaking quantity of feathers of varying sizes – from extremely small (down to hook size 20 and smaller) to relatively large feathers for bushy dry flies or to spice up your streamers. Thanks to their flexible yet sturdy stems, they are very easy to work with. Additionally, their stiff fibers give your dry flies excellent buoyancy. Furthermore, these feathers are characterized by an almost consistent fiber length, which is of great advantage, for example, in tying dense and uniform hackle collars.
The feathers of the Whiting Platinum Saddle are a delight to work with, and the finished dry flies are almost too beautiful to fish with, as they look uniform, the hackle stands cleanly and evenly, and not a single fiber is stuck together. A saddle that has reached the Platinum quality level is something truly special, and you will notice this especially when tying – outstanding!
