If you're a fly tyer looking for top-tier hackle without the commitment of a full cape, Metz's Hackle Select Single Packs are a total game-changer. The quality of the feathers is exactly what you'd expect from Metz—strong stems, consistent barb density, and excellent color uniformity. Whether you're tying dry flies or dabbling in parachutes or stimulators, these packs deliver.
I was especially impressed with how easy they are to work with—no brittle stems or weak barbs. The selection in each pack feels thoughtful, giving you a great range of sizes perfect for most trout patterns. It's a budget-friendly way to get premium hackle without investing in an entire neck or saddle
