Has nothing to do with what length though and nothing to do with Chinese saddles either or the strung saddle hackle that is 6" lone. I really don't believe you undrestand the problem for some tyers.

Probably not, I'm a just a fisherman. G'luck to you and to all those whose need for that saddle it is going to impact.
