FFGene India Hen Speckled Saddles

FFGene India Hen Speckled Saddles are speckled hen saddles with long, soft feathers for wet flies, nymphs and other mobile patterns. The distinctive speckling creates a natural, irregular pattern, while the feather length extends their use to hackles, wings and tails. Soft hen barbs move in water and suit flies that call for movement and a clear visual effect. Longer feathers work well in Matuka and streamer wings, as well as in suitable partridge-style patterns. Match the feather width and length to the size and proportions of the fly.

Construction and use

The speckled pattern adds definition to hackles, wings and tails. The soft feather produces movement below the surface, while longer examples form larger streamer and Matuka components. Choose a feather of suitable width for hackling and reserve the longer pieces for wings.
