Product information "Metz Hen Saddle Grade #1 Gold"

Metz has been one of the leading manufacturers of genetic fly tying feathers for decades and stands for consistently high quality, careful selection and practice-orientated products. The materials are developed specifically for the requirements of modern fly tiers and offer reliable properties for a wide range of applications.

The Metz Hen Saddle Grade #1 Gold is a high-quality hen saddle in the premium class and impresses with its particularly soft, flexible and finely structured fibres. The fibres are significantly softer than those of hen feathers, which makes them particularly lively in the water.

Thanks to their flexibility and fibre structure, the feathers are ideal for wet flies, nymphs, soft hackle patterns, salmon tubes and smaller streamers. They are often used for hackle collars, legs or tails and provide a natural movement under water that is particularly convincing for cautious fish.

The Grade #1 Gold quality stands for a high feather density, even structure and a large number of usable feathers. As a result, the saddle offers a high yield and is an excellent choice for fly tiers who value quality, versatility and realistic movement patterns.
