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.
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.

They aren’t lying when they say you can tie around 100 flies with this. I have barely made a dent in the package and have tied multiple flies with them.

great product
These are great dry fly feathers. They are easy to work with and float well. I don't understand how you can rate them less than 5 stars.
