We always used to get excited when we opened a package of schlappen and found the one or two feathers that seemed to not matt together like all of the other "regular" schlappen.....they were perfect as spey hackle. Our new process takes our extra large schlappen and removes all of the webby microfibers that make the barbs stick together. We also rehydrate the feathers so that the stem is left supple and not at all brittle like so many other commercial spey substitutes.This fine product gives the same look as burnt goose shoulders, except the stems are much thinner and not at all brittle. No need to soak these plumes in warm water before you spin them on! Packages come with 25-35 feathers.
