[VFB] Fwd: Bugger Saddle Necks are Going Outta-Sight!

To: VFB Mail vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Hi VFB! Just returned from a local flyshop where I had a good talk with the owner, Peter. It seems that the price of bugger-quality saddle hackle necks is skyrocketing. Typical price increases are a plus $10 per neck, and Hareline products, in particular, are getting hard to locate. The reason behind the increases and scarcity is the long skinny saddle hackles have become a trendy crafts item, and so that segment of the market is buying up all the necks. Sample: http://tinyurl.com/2b9dge I just budgeted a bunch of $$ to buy up as many remaining (now bargain) bugger saddle hackle necks as I can manage. Don't want to spend over $40 for the new offerings. Wes Wada Bend, Oregon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

Hi Rodger, I was lucky to have bought quite an assortment of colored grizzly necks years ago, and I paid about $19 apiece for full necks. Unfortunately, even white #3 grizzly necks are included in the coming price increases. I dye and enjoy doing that, but if I can get a neck already dyed at less than $30, that's going to look like a bargain in a few months. Just bought some remaining stock of claret grizzly necks at $14. There are three more hanging on the racks, and I am looking to get those as well, if possible. Between companies discontinuing items I like a lot (Gudebrod tying thread, Danville Monocord, etc.) and raising prices, it's a major ouch!!

Check out Howard's Hackle from Alberta. http://howardhackle.com/ Might be a good alternate source for you.

Check out http://eflytyer.com/new_stuff/ns_feathers.html, Mike Hogue. I've dealt with him for years. I believe he also sells Collins hackle. I've gotten some great soft hackle Chinese necks from him as well. Ewing hackle co also has really good bugger hackle at reasonable prices and wonderful colors.
