Product information "Metz Signature Neck Cape Grade #1"

The Metz Grade #1 Cock Neck is a high quality cock neck and belongs to the best quality grade from Metz. It was specially developed for tying dry flies, nymphs and streamers and impresses with its first-class feather quality, high rigidity and excellent elasticity. These properties ensure that very buoyant dry flies can be tied cleanly and in a controlled manner. The hackle fibres are evenly structured and stable, which enables precise winding and a fine, balanced fly profile.

Compared to saddles, a cock neck offers a wider range of feather sizes. This makes the Metz Cock Neck particularly suitable for fly tiers who want to tie different fly sizes. The feathers cover a wide range of sizes and are ideal for dry flies in many common hook sizes, from small to medium, although it is a natural product and slight variations may occur.

Grade #1 stands for the highest quality class at Metz. It guarantees a very high density of usable feathers, a uniform feather structure and an excellent yield. The neck delivers a large quantity of long, finely tapered and outstandingly usable nibs, making it particularly durable and economical. The Metz Grade #1 Neck is therefore an excellent choice for discerning fly tyers looking for the highest quality, versatility and a large quantity of feathers in one product.
