Whiting Bronze Midge 1/2 Saddle
Professional Dry Fly Hackle for the Smallest Hook Sizes
Whiting Bronze Midge 1/2 Saddle is a premium dry fly saddle specifically developed for tying small and ultra-small dry flies. Thanks to Whiting Farms' decades of genetic breeding, the feathers are exceptionally long, narrow and uniform, making them ideal for the smallest hook sizes where standard dry fly saddles are no longer the most efficient choice.
If you regularly tie flies on hooks in sizes #18, #20, #22 and smaller, the Bronze Midge 1/2 Saddle provides the feather length, consistency and density needed for fast, efficient production tying with outstanding results.
What is the Whiting Bronze Midge 1/2 Saddle?
Whiting Bronze Midge 1/2 Saddle is a half saddle from Whiting Farms' specialised Midge series, developed specifically for tying small dry flies. Most feathers are ideally suited for hook sizes approximately #18 to #24, with many smaller feathers available for even finer patterns.
The long feathers allow several flies to be tied from a single feather, greatly increasing efficiency while reducing material waste. Thin, flexible stems make the hackle easy to wrap, while the fine fibres produce perfectly proportioned dry fly hackles without unnecessary bulk.
This saddle is the ideal choice for fly tyers who demand premium hackle quality when tying tiny mayflies, midges, Baetis patterns and other delicate dry flies.

FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDATIONIf most of your dry flies are tied on hooks size #18 and smaller, the Whiting Bronze Midge 1/2 Saddle is a far better choice than a standard dry fly saddle. The majority of its feathers fall within the smallest hook-size range, giving you more usable hackles, less waste and the ability to tie hundreds of consistent, professional-quality flies. |
