Umpqua Metz Tarpon/Crab Hackle Pack Grizzly/Purple – Uniform Hackle for Tarpon Tails & Crab Claws

Elevate your saltwater fly tying

The Umpqua Metz Tarpon/Crab Hackle Pack in Grizzly/Purple is crafted for both saltwater and warmwater patterns. With longer, wider neck hackles, this pack is designed to help you create clean tails on tarpon flies, and to form splayed crab claws or bushy collars with a natural, lifelike presence. The result is material that feels substantial in hand and visual in the vise, inviting you to experiment with texture, balance, and color without fuss.

In practice, you’ll appreciate the way these feathers hold shape in the wind and water, giving patterns a steady silhouette from cast to splashdown. The Grizzly/Purple palette adds depth and contrast, helping flies catch attention across varying light and water clarity. This pack is sized for consistency, so you can focus on the art of tying rather than the hunt for matching feathers.
