Necks, Saddles and Hackle

PREMIUM GENETIC ROOSTER CAPES, SADDLES & HEN NECKS

Welcome to the premium necks, saddles, and hackle collective at Casters Fly Shop. Selecting the absolute highest-grade genetic plumage is the defining foundation of master fly tying. Whether you require dense, stiff-fibered rooster capes to float micro-midges cleanly through heavy riffles, extra-long streamlined saddles to wrap seamless bodies on woolly buggers, or soft, webby hen capes for lifelike movement on wet patterns, our selection delivers unparalleled barb density and supple quills.

TECHNICAL PLUMAGE ARRANGEMENTS FOR PRECISION BENCHES:
• Genetic Dry Fly Rooster Capes (Necks): Access a broad spectrum of sizes from size 10 down to 26 on a single pelt, offering exceptional barb stiffness, minimal web, and mirrored tailing feathers for traditional dry fly designs.
• Long-Fiber Rooster Saddles & 100-Packs: Source highly uniform, ultra-long feathers ideal for rapid wrapping. Our premium saddles and individually sized Whiting 100-Packs allow tiers to tie dozens of flies per feather at a consistent hook size.
• Soft Hackle Hen Necks & Saddles: Build fluid, pulsing throats, collars, and wings on subsurface nymphs and wet flies using webby hen materials engineered for superb hydraulic action underwater.
