Apparently the market goes into the saddle hackle. Feathers suited to hackle 6 to 12 flies per feather. But on this saddles (and obviously in the 100 packs <G>) are no spade feathers any more. Metz sells 'tailing packs' for this reason, Rooster feathers with long, stiff barbs.
And the 100 packs have only few tips for wings - therefore the winger capes.

Whiting offers CdL Tailing packs...each pack contains a few patches of feathers with longer fibers best suited for mayfly tails. <http://www.linesend.com/product/whiting.shtml>
