When your patterns demand bigger feathers, bolder profiles, and more movement, the Metz Magnum Neck Hackle delivers. These premium, oversized rooster capes are built for tying large-profile flies for aggressive fish—think pike, muskie, bass, and saltwater species—as well as oversized streamers and classic patterns that need long, webby hackle with serious water presence.
Each Magnum Neck features extra-long, wider feathers compared to standard neck hackle, with stiff, webby fibers and strong, flexible stems. That combination creates the best of both worlds: enough structure to hold a clean silhouette, and enough web to push water and “dance” on the strip. Whether you’re building bulky baitfish, swinging big streamers, or tying articulated predator patterns, these feathers help you produce the movement and profile that triggers eats.
Metz Magnum Necks are also known for being highly usable from top to bottom, meaning you get quality feathers throughout the cape—not just in a small prime zone. Add in a wide range of colors (including standout grizzly variants), and you’ve got a go-to material for filling fly boxes with confidence.
If you’re tying flies for predators—or simply want a hackle cape that can build bigger patterns with more motion—the Metz Magnum Neck Hackle is a staple material for streamer tiers, warmwater anglers, and saltwater fly builders alike.
