Quick take
An 8-piece hackle plier combo in red and black with fly box for holding hackle and displaying finished flies.
This is a set of eight spring-loaded hackle pliers, four in red and four in black, supplied with a fly box. Each has a wire loop that grips a hook or feather tip when you release the button, so it holds hackle while you wrap it around the shank. Stainless steel construction and a spear point style make it a handy extra set of hands at the fly-tying vise.
