Product information "Metz Hen Neck Grade #1 Gold"

Metz has been one of the world's leading manufacturers of genetic fly tying feathers for decades and stands for consistently high quality and careful selection of materials. Modern breeding programmes result in products that meet the highest standards in terms of both workmanship and function.

The Metz Hen Neck Grade #1 Gold is a premium quality hen neck and impresses with its particularly soft, supple feathers with fine, flexible fibres. The natural size gradation on the hen neck offers a wide range of possible uses - from small soft hackle flies to larger wet flies and streamers. The soft fibres are ideal for hackle collars, legs, tails or wings and provide a particularly attractive movement under water.

The Grade #1 Gold quality stands for a high feather density, even structure and a large number of usable feathers. This makes this bellows particularly productive and an excellent choice for fly tiers who value versatility, quality and realistic movement patterns.
