The Whiting Pro Grade Saddles are a top choice for tying dry flies – whether it's 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 jazz up your streamers. Thanks to their flexible yet sturdy quills, they are very easy to work with. Moreover, their stiff fibers give your dry flies excellent buoyancy. Additionally, these feathers are characterized by an almost consistent fiber length, which is highly advantageous for tying dense and uniform hackle collars, for example.
Apart from dry flies, these capes are also suitable for tying streamers – for example, as body hackle for a Wooly Bugger or to put the finishing touch on larger pike or saltwater streamers. The Whiting Pro Grade Saddles are arguably the highest quality capes on the market, and you can be sure that every single feather from this cape can be used for various fly patterns.
The Whiting Pro Grade Midge Saddles have the shortest fiber length in the feathers and are particularly advantageous for small flies. As the name suggests, excellent midges can be tied with the feathers of the Midge Saddles, down to a hook size of #26 and smaller! In addition to dry flies, these feathers are also commonly used as side feathers in streamers, such as with a Tobias Fish for the coast.
In short: These stunning rooster capes are an absolute dream for tying dry flies. Thanks to their Pro Grade classification, they offer unbeatable value for money.
