Regal Revolution is IT! Plus Some Questions.
Well I had couple rods that I'll never use any more so I took them into a local Fly Shop for their trade in program. Plus the owner allowed a friend who works there to give me his employee discount on a Regal Revolution plus no Sales Tax, because he said I was his brother.
So I am now the proud owner Regal Revolution!http://www.theflyfishingforum.com/forums/biggrin.gif I'm feeling spoiled! As good as this thing spins I think I might even be able to figure how to do some of the things with it that can be done on the Nor Vice with it.
I also bought a bunch of tying materials and some tools and didn't have to pay sales tax on them either.
Is anyone here familiar with the Hook & Hackle Choice Saddles and Capes and/or their Half Necks?
I've read elsewhere that their Premium Saddles and Capes are top Notch, but I for now I'd like to simple try the Choice or even Half Necks to save a little money as I have spent quite a bit so far this month and I am still planning on buying a couple rod blanks and components.

I have no experience with that hackle. What are you going to be making with it. Just remember, the lower the grade, the less smaller size hackle. If you are going to be tying dries from a 10-18 most grades of necks will do. However, the small fly guys need the gold and silver grades.
As far as the saddles are concerned you will find very little size variance on the saddle if it says sizes 14-16 that's what you'll get. You might find a few larger and a few smaller, but that's it.
