Product information "Metz Magnum Saddle Grade 2"

The wide range of both shorter and very long, but also narrow and wider feathers, the high quality and the amount of feathers of this Metz Magnum # 2 Saddle, far exceeds the usual quality standards. The rich, durable colours of these bellows provide the tyer with an inexhaustible range of applications, with which not only larger dry flies but also all kinds of salmon, steelhead and saltwater flies and various streamers for perch, pike etc. can be produced.
Such qualities are only ever available on the market in limited quantities. We are therefore all the more pleased to be able to offer these rooster saddles at a sensational price/performance ratio.


Information about Metz:
In the early 70s, Metz in Pennsylvania/USA first revolutionised the world of fly tying by introducing the first sophisticated breeding of hackles. Initially, hackles were produced in pure dry fly quality and in a complete range of colours. A product that enabled fly tiers to imitate natural insects more accurately than ever before and helped fly fishermen to make their dry flies not only float higher in the water film, but also decidedly longer (even through the fastest rushes) because these feathers simply stayed dry longer. Metz was therefore considered the unqualified standard in the 70s and 80s. Now Metz is back with a phenomenal comeback!
Stiff very dense fibres, a high number of feathers with an almost fluff-free, beautiful, thin, flexible and even keel and a complete range of sizes, are still the Metz standard by which other bellows must be measured. Deep, natural, consistent colours are the Metz trademark. Stringent selection in breeding, coupled with strict procedures in grading, guarantee top quality bellows - every time. The highest quality flies commercially available today are 100% tied with Metz bellows.


Tip: If the feathers have become crooked and crooked at home due to unfavourable storage, the feathers can be straightened again by holding them over the steam from a kettle (or similar device). The springs will then look like new again.
