Is this what I want Rooster 5-7'' Strung Saddle Hackle

No Let me get a link at Bob Marriott's so you can see the package. It's Neck Hackle and not saddle hackle, it make a big difference in my tails for sure.

I also like this for a variant or variegated what ever one want to call it...

I know Crazy Angler has Wapsi hackle and it's what I get if I can't get what I really want. I don't think he has Hareline and really that is the only Neck Hackle I can find that really makes me happy. I even bought some pounds of it and let me tell you even at that much it's about 2 times what the 3"-5" is because there are just less of that size feathers.

Thanks for the links Skip. I wasn't sure about the "saltwater" part.

That is just what they call it and is the same as others except it's longer and has more usable and better parts.

hunter make sure you don't use the saddle hackle for this, it's great for it's main use, but this is not is. It's more for a collar or palmered hackle and has a more narrow tip and stuffer barbules.
