Hackle pliers
Hold even the smallest hackle feathers securely and tie them in easily
The HACKLES PLIER cottarelli is a simple but extremely effective product and will allow you to easily wrap the feathers on the hook during the fly tying phase. Through the special brass insert you can adjust the pressure of the plier. Moving the regulator towards the handle of the fly tying tool will give you a light grip, while moving it towards the tip will give you a very strong grip.
The hackle pliers are used to make it easier to wrap the feathers around the stem of the hook without the risk of breaking them.
Using them is very simple: simply tie the feather to the hook with the tying thread, lock the other end with the hackle pliers and gently wrap the fly tying material while holding the handle of the tool. When you're done, just let the hackles pliers hang still attached to the feather, fix it all calmly with the tying thread and cut the surplus.
