Hareline Saltwater Neck Hackles are well known for use tying bass bugs and tarpon flies, either as splayed wings, tails, or as bushy collars.
We love these feathers for hackle collars and palmered Spey flies for our steelhead flies.
Hareline Saltwater Neck Hackles have strung rooster neck hackles taken form the base of the neck and are, therefore, the longest and widest neck feathers available.
These do have a fair amount of web but are not like schlappen feathers, which are essentially all-web, all-the-time.
By sorting these feathers, we find gorgeous wide hackled specimens with a modest amount of web near the stem.
These look great tied as a long collar on a steelhead fly, or palmered sparsely on some of our Spey flies.
The feathers are wider than the rooster saddle feathers and not as long as the longest rooster saddle feathers.
These strung rooster neck hackles are available in a dazzling range of colors and are all select strung on thread to make them easier to use.
These rooster decorative feathers tend to range from about 3” to about 5” in length, and most are useful for fly tying and artistic endeavors.
