Strung Rooster Saddle Hackle

Strung Rooster Saddle Hackle is a workhorse material for larger flies that need length, motion, and durability. With long, flowing fibers in the 5–7 inch range, this hackle is built for streamers and warmwater patterns where profile and movement matter more than subtlety.

Performance

The long saddle fibers pulse and breathe in the water, giving flies a lifelike presence with minimal material. Strung presentation makes it easy to select exact feather lengths and tie them in cleanly, whether you’re palmering bodies or building full, flowing profiles on larger patterns.

Why We Use It

• We use it for Woolly Buggers when we want length and consistent movement

• We rely on it for streamers that need flowing, mobile hackle

• We like it for Lefty’s Deceivers and other bass and saltwater patterns

• We trust the 5–7 inch length for building larger, more aggressive flies
