Filstar Cock Saddle
The Classic Feather for Dry Flies
Filstar Cock Saddle features premium rooster saddle feathers selected for tying dry flies, streamers and a wide variety of traditional fly patterns. The long, narrow feathers with stiff, resilient fibres produce consistent hackle and allow many flies to be tied from a single feather, making saddle hackle one of the most efficient natural materials for fly tying.
Compared to a rooster neck (cape), saddle feathers are generally longer and more uniform in size, making them ideal for tying multiple flies on the same hook size. They are equally well suited for classic dry flies, palmer hackles, streamers, tails and decorative applications where long, high-quality fibres are required.
Whether you're tying Elk Hair Caddis, Palmer flies, Woolly Bugger or countless other popular patterns, Filstar Cock Saddle offers an excellent balance of versatility, durability and value for fly tyers of every skill level.

FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDATIONIf you regularly tie batches of identical dry flies, choose saddle hackle over a cape. The longer, more uniform feathers provide consistent hackle sizing and allow significantly more flies to be tied from each feather. |
