Whiting Hebert Pro Grade Saddle
Legendary Hebert-Miner Natural Colours in a Premium Dry Fly Saddle
Whiting Hebert Pro Grade Saddle combines the world-famous natural colours of the Hebert-Miner genetic line with all the advantages of a premium dry fly saddle. Its long, uniform feathers allow multiple flies to be tied from a single feather, making it an outstanding choice for fly tyers who value both efficiency and the timeless beauty of natural hackle colours.
Unlike the standard Whiting Dry Fly Saddle series, the Hebert-Miner line is renowned for its beautiful natural shades of Dun, Brown, Cream, Badger and Ginger, featuring the subtle sheen that traditional fly tyers appreciate for classic Catskill patterns, mayflies and other realistic dry flies.
What is the Whiting Hebert Pro Grade Saddle?
Whiting Hebert Pro Grade Saddle is a genetically bred rooster saddle from the legendary Hebert-Miner bloodline. The feathers feature long, supple stems, exceptional barb density and minimal webbing, making them ideal for fast, consistent dry fly production.
Most feathers are ideally suited for hook sizes approximately #8–16, with the majority covering the highly popular #10–14 range. This makes the saddle particularly attractive to fly tyers who regularly produce classic trout dry flies throughout the season.
Pro Grade offers the same outstanding feather quality found throughout the Whiting lineup. The primary difference compared with Bronze, Silver or Gold grades is the quantity of usable feathers rather than the quality of each individual feather, making Pro Grade one of the best values in the Whiting catalogue.
