Whiting has graded the saddles as follows:

• Gold: Best quality. The feathers are very long and abundant.
• Silver: This also offers excellent quality. However, the number of feathers may be slightly smaller than in Gold-grade saddles.
• Bronze: There is more variation in the quantity and quality of the feathers.
• Pro Grade: A basic quality saddle for general use.
• Commercial Grade: A good choice for beginners in fly tying or for professional fly tiers. The stiffness and quality of the barbs are sufficient for tying effective fishing flies, but the feathers may have some cosmetic imperfections, such as broken tips.
