Quick take
Spring-loaded hackle pliers for wrapping hackle, holding and displaying flies during tying or photography.
A six-piece set of spring-loaded hackle pliers for the fly-tying bench, split between three blue and three black. Push the base toward the wire loop to open it, place a hook or feather, and release for a firm grip. Use them to wrap hackle, hold flies while they dry, or steady a fly for photos and side-by-side comparison. A small fly box comes with the set.
