Saddles and genetic capes

[armaghtyer]

Hi,
I'm new to the forum and this has probably been discussed 100 times but can anyone recommend good saddles and genetic capes for under £20? I'm sick of chinese and indian capes but whiting and metz are, at the moment, too dear! Any help appreciated!!

Can't a lad have dreams?

sometimes it can work out cheaper to get one good cape with a large range of feather sizes on it especially when your looking for small feathers to tie dries with

Carrilon do half genetic capes if that's any help-around £11 or £12 if they still have any in stock as haven't bought any for over a year. A half cape will last an average tier for years so no point paying full price if you don't tie a large number of flies!

what is an average tier??

a half genetic cape for £11-£12 means it isnt a genetic or it was a very very bad grade one..
in other words you got done..

IT SIMPLY MEANS THE CAPE WAS CUT IN TWO PIECES. SEEMPLES!
