Hareline UV2 Strung Saddle Hackle - Red #095

The Hareline Spirit River UV2 Strung Saddle is a UV-enhanced, strung saddle hackle designed for fly tying streamers, wooly buggers and warmwater or saltwater patterns. Hareline's UV2 treatment increases underwater visibility while rooster-sourced hackle provides stiffness and lively bounce for improved movement. Individual fibers typically run about 5–6.5 inches (sold as 6–7" strung saddles that commonly measure 5–6.5").

Key Features

• UV2 Enhancement: Ultraviolet dye boost adds subtle flash and attraction in stained or low-light water.
• Strung Saddle Hackle: Ready-to-use, consistent bundles save prep time and make tying streamers and saltwater flies faster.
• Rooster-Sourced Fibers: Stiffer barbs give good webbing and durable movement on the water.
• Dyed Over White: Clean, vivid colors that take UV and accent dyes well for a wide palette of patterns.
• Versatile Length: Fiber length (approx. 5–6.5") fits a broad range of hook sizes and fly styles.

Fly tyers choose Hareline for reliable, consistent materials; the Spirit River UV2 saddles perform well across freshwater and saltwater applications. The strung format is ideal for quickly dressing hooks and building bodies or collars on streamers, bugger patterns, and classic wet flies. The UV2 finish gives extra punch without overwhelming the color scheme, and the rooster hackle holds up through multiple fish and tying sessions.
