Description

I have replenished my supply of strung Chinese Hackle with a slightly different approach. This time I was able to buy quantities of 3″ to 3 1/2″, 4″ to 4 1/2″ and 5 1/2″ to 6″ lengths. I’ve spread out the package of white in the lower right of the picture above so you can see what you will get; 3 pieces 2″ long (measured along the bias) of each size. A slightly larger picture is available via the View Colors on the menu bar to the left. I will have additional pictures available below showing color comparison soon.

Why Chinese Neck Hackle? I prefer a tapered “Christmas Tree shaped” body hackle with robust barbs and lots of web. I like to see that void under the body, between the hook point and throat, filled with a sharp or radically tapered feather, like you see in the insert photo.

Our Domestic hackle, while wonderful for many other uses, lacks both qualities I look for in Salmon Fly body hackle. Chinese, Saddle or Schlappen, has the web but lacks the taper.

In each package, you will get a generous supply of superb strung Chinese neck hackle, in your color choice, in a full range of sizes from small to large. It’s a far better option than full necks which are not available at this time.

    These are hands down the best strung hackle feathers I’ve ever purchased. The quality and size variety are leagues better than run-of-the-mill packs you find everywhere else.
