Default Hackles for Tiny Flies

Some of you may be interested in these little saddle capes for tying tiny dry flies with. I thought I'd take a punt on them and I have to say I'm impressed with the service, the price and the quality. It will make tying aphids and smuts a lot easier.

Richard, I need to thank you for the heads-up. I immediately ordered a package when I saw your post yesterday, exactly what I've been looking for at an incredible price, especially if you say you are impressed with the quality.

Regards,
Kenneth

Same here, thanks for the heads up on that one. What a bargain when set against those branded midge capes!

The capes arrived today and I am going to be tying many many tiny flies for years.

5 different mini capes for the price of one normal cape, and quick delivery.

Know what I'll be doing this week

Got mine the other day, an absolute bargain for what you get, well impressed.
Just the ticket for dries size 20 and smaller, best get the magnifier out.

Ordered a set of these and even got an extra one thrown in.. Will never need to buy capes for size 18 to 26 ( and smaller if I could see to tie them) ever again....
Very good value......
