Whiting pre-sizes and curates each hackle in the 100 Pack, cutting out the step of measuring and cutting from a full cape when a dry fly calls for exact-size feathers.
Specifications
- Pack Yield: Enough hackle to tie 100 flies
- Size Range: 12, 14, 16, 18
Best for: trout dry flies and parachute-style patterns where consistent, pre-sized hackle saves bench time.
For more size range and flexibility, see the Hareline Half Cape.
Wrap the feather around the hook shank or the post of a parachute dry fly and it’s already sized to the pattern. A hundred flies’ worth of hackle per pack keeps tying sessions moving without restocking mid-project, and proper storage keeps the feathers usable over time.
FAQ
Q: Is the 100 Pack a better buy than a full saddle?
For a tyer who only needs one or two sizes, yes — paying for pre-sized, curated hackle skips the cutting and sorting a full saddle requires. A full saddle still wins if a pattern book needs a wider size range.
