Saddles

Long feathers for lively, durable flies

Saddle feathers differ from cape feathers above all in their length and their even width. Metz is known worldwide for its genetically bred saddles, whose long, supple feathers make palmering a body hackle easy and the finished fly faultless. FutureFly, in turn, answers the modern tyer's call with softer saddles in a wide range of bright shades, ideally suited to Scandi-style salmon flies that need movement and to striking streamers.
