Re: [VFB] Saddle vs Neck Hackle

Murf,      Byard can get you the midge saddles.  He has some in stock right now. The cost is $96 for the silver & $80 for the bronze.  I have several of the silver ones.  I also get hackle down #32 on all of them.  I have a standard Whiting Silver Grade Sliver Badger that I have gotten #28's off of.  Here is the link for that page.   http://www.linesend.com/product/whiting.shtml ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 22, 2002 4:45 PM Subject: Re: [VFB] Saddle vs Neck Hackle DonO; I have some Hoffmans that tie down to a 24 but can't even imagine a saddle at 28-32.  You must be very connected.  Fred Reese used to be so connected to Hoffman and could provide me with most any size or color I wanted but he's retired now. Murf Now midge saddle hackles are quite common down to the Tiemco #32 (=Mustad 28) and I've found actual Mustad #32 saddle hackles that look like a piece of flat mono thread.
