This is the ultimate dry fly saddle! Offering the stiffest and most dense hackles on the market, this saddle performs perfectly on the vise. Whiting is the first choice for professional tiers worldwide.
The ultimate saddle for size 10-18 dry flies.
The grading of saddles and capes tends to cause confusion. All you need to remember is that all Whiting capes/saddles are of equal quality no matter their grade. The grading is only based on the feather count per saddle/cape, and the sizes of flies that those feathers can tie. A platinum saddle/cape will typically have more feathers and tie smaller flies than a bronze saddle/cape.
Saddles typically have a more narrow hook size range than capes, but also have longer and more uniform feathers for tying multiple flies using a single feather.
Whiting Farms was founded in 1989 by Dr. Tom Whiting. His vision was to produce the most premium selection of fly tying feathers possible - and he has done just that.
