Strung Saddle Hackle

Shor Strung Saddle Hackle is one of those old-school fly tying essentials that still earns its keep today. Long, flowing feathers make it perfect for creating movement and profile on streamers, big bugs, and predator patterns with minimal fuss.

It’s right at home on tails, wings, collars, or palmered wraps when you want motion that fishes, not just looks good on the bench. Works great for freshwater streamers targeting trout or pike, warmwater attractors, and any pattern where length and flow matter more than weight.

These are premium strung saddles, generally about 6–8 inches long, so you get enough feather to do full‑size patterns or several smaller flies from one package.
