Wapsi Neck Hackle Mini Pack
Wapsi Neck Hackle Mini Pack is a small pack of loose rooster neck hackle feathers for fly tying. Wind a feather around the hook to create a hackle that gives the fly a clear outline and helps support it in the water. The material suits dry flies, wet flies and other patterns built around a wound collar. The mini pack is a convenient choice for smaller projects and for keeping tying materials ready to hand.
Construction and use
Each feather has a central stem with fibres arranged along both sides. Hold the tip and wind the feather in successive turns around the prepared body. Remove loose fibres from the base before tying in, then choose a section that provides the required hackle density. Match fibre length to the intended size and style of the fly. The loose pack format makes it easy to select a feather with suitable dimensions.
