Metz Half Neck Grade 3

Metz Cock Necks are characterized by very high quality and a large number of feathers with stiff fibers. The feathers are ideal for tying dry flies in a variety of sizes from #8 to #18, covering the most common trout and grayling patterns. Due to the extraordinary length of the feathers, you can tie multiple flies from a single feather from these premium capes. Of course, the feathers can also be integrated whole into a variety of Pike streamers, used as wings, flatwings or deceivers. The natural grizzly banding of the feathers dissolves the silhouette of dry flies and creates beautiful contrasts on all your streamer patterns.

Information about Metz:

In the early 1970s, Metz in Pennsylvania, USA revolutionized the world of fly tying for the first time with the introduction of the first highly developed Hackle breeds. At first, the Hackle was produced in pure dry fly quality and in a complete color palette. A product that allowed the fly tying community to mimic the natural insects more accurately than ever before, helping the fly fishermen not only to float its dry flies higher in the water film but also for a longer period of time (even through the fastest currents) because these feathers just stay dry longer. Metz was therefore considered the uncontested standard in the 70s and 80s. Now Metz is making a phenomenal comeback!

A large number of feathers with beautiful, almost fluffless, thin, flexible and an even shape, which have stiff and dense fibers, as well as a complete range of sizes, are still the standard of Metz’ feathers. Deep, natural, consistent colors are the trademark of Metz. Strict selection in breeding, coupled with strict procedures in sorting, guarantee saddles in top quality - at all times. Today, the highest quality commercially available flies are 100% tied with Metz hackle
