Hareline Dubbin, LLC - Trying to find a set of hackle pliers that are delicate enough to control ultra-fine materials yet strong enough to actually grip the material during the tying process can be a maddening endeavor. These hackle tweezers from Tyflyz have fast become our go to choice. Their ingenious jaw design using rounded wire and a gritty, textured 'pad' grips the smallest of feathers and fibers resolutely and without breakage.
These are probably the best hackle pliers I’ve used since I took up flytying!
They hold hackle stems with absolute ease.
The tool is super light so it doesn’t break delicate feathers, and it is formed in a loop so that you can easily insert an index finger and wrap the feather under constant pressure.
They open easily with a simple squeeze, then close snugly when released.
With carefully smoothed edges that will not cut or break the finest of stems under tension and remarkably tight tolerances ensure feathers won’t slip or slide when wrapping.
