badger capes/saddles help?

[welly2911]

hello i am wanting to buy a few badger capes or saddles for tying salmon flies
but i dont know what to buy, as the only capes i have ever bought have been veinards cock capes i dont know what i am looking for as in sizes or best quality capes. i am willing to spend the money but would like a bit of advice before i go waste my money on something i carnt use. also i read a thread on this forum some where about some one selling them for £6 each and now i can not find it so if any one could help i really would appreciate it.

thanks michael

Get some hen cpaes i these colours, a lot cheaper than cock and a load morer movement, they are about a tenner in the uk...

You only need top quality cock hackle capes for dry flies. For salmon flies Indian and Chinese capes (of the right colours) will do fine.

Cookshill will be able to help you.

Have a look at Lakeland - not cheap but are very very good.
