C&F Midge Biot Plier
C&F Midge Biot Plier is a specialized fly tying tool designed for precise handling of small biots and delicate feather materials when creating detailed artificial flies. Developed by Japanese manufacturer C&F Design, this tool is designed for fly tyers working with small hooks who require maximum control when creating realistic segmented fly bodies.
Compared to the standard C&F Biot Plier, the Midge version features a more compact design optimized for fine fly tying applications. It allows secure gripping of small biots without damaging the material while making it easier to wrap them evenly around the hook shank.
Biots are highly effective materials for creating realistic bodies on nymphs, dry flies, and midge patterns, but their delicate structure requires careful handling. C&F Midge Biot Plier provides the stability and precision needed for accurate positioning and controlled tension during wrapping.
The specially shaped gripping jaws securely hold the biot while wrapping, allowing fly tyers to work with very small materials and create consistent segmentation. This is especially important when tying patterns where realistic proportions and fine details make the difference.
C&F Midge Biot Plier is a compact and precise tool for fly tyers who create small nymphs, midges, and dry flies and want to achieve professional-looking bodies using biot materials.
