Hareline UV2 Strung Saddle Hackle – Olive #030

Hareline UV2 Strung Saddle is a UV-enhanced saddle hackle designed for fly tying, adding ultraviolet reflectance that improves visibility and attraction for streamers, warmwater patterns and saltwater flies. Treated with a double-dye UV2 process and delivered pre-strung for tidy handling, these saddles provide consistent color, useful stiffness and lively bounce for tails, wings or wraps around the hook shank.

Key Features

• UV2 Double-Dye: UV-enhanced fibers increase ultraviolet reflectance to make flies more visible to fish without altering natural profile.
• Strung For Tidiness: Pre-strung saddles save time at the bench and keep fibers organized for precise, repeatable tying.
• Rooster Saddle Bounce: Stiffer rooster fibers add movement and life—ideal for streamers and warmwater patterns.
• Versatile Application: Use for tails, wings, body wraps or ribbing across freshwater and saltwater fly patterns.
• Dyed Over White: Base dye over white produces richer, more consistent colors across the saddle.

Fly tyers favor Hareline UV2 saddles for dependable quality and time-saving format. Typical feather length runs about 5–6.5 inches (nominal 6–7″ strung saddle), providing ample material for multiple flies. Hareline UV2 saddles pair well with standard hooks, threads, dubbing and synthetic flash, and they fit neatly into most fly-tying kits and organizers.

Specifications: Strung saddle feather length typically 5–6.5 inches; packaged dimensions approximately 8.0 x 3.5 x 0.25 inches; packaged weight about 0.5 oz. Compatible with standard fly-tying tools and suitable for streamers, warmwater flies, nymphs and many saltwater patterns.
