Deep, natural consistent colors, web free hackles, flexible stems and a complete range of sizes are the benchmark set by Metz. Metz #1 Hen Necks are best used for wings on dries, collaring nymphs, and palmering buggers due to the softer nature of the feathers. Stringent breeder selection coupled with strict grading procedures, guarantees top quality hackle, every time. Using a quality genetic hackle ensures that each fly tied is durable. MADE IN THE USA
