Uses

Truly versatile and able to be used in a ton of different ways, Spirit River's UV2 Grizzly Soft Hackle makes things easy without breaking the bank.

Comparisons

Although there are plenty of grizzly soft hackle feathers on the market, most options require you to buy a whole hen neck like Hareline's Hen Saddle. Hareline's Hen Saddle is a great alternative, but also more costly and doesn't feature Spirit River's UV2 dying process. And while both Spirit River's UV2 Grizzly Soft Hackle and Hareline's Hen Saddle give a range of different sizes, the Hen Saddle is a little better catalogued and easier to quickly find the size that you need. Although both of these options have their benefits, whenever you're looking for something affordable that comes in a range of colors (all with UV2 Technology), Spirit River's UV2 Grizzly Soft Hackle is just the right choice.
