Petitjean MP Plier
Petitjean MP Plier is a specialized CDC feather clamp designed by legendary Swiss fly tyer Marc Petitjean. This unique tool was developed specifically for working with one of the most important materials in modern fly tying – CDC feathers (Cul de Canard).
The main function of the Petitjean MP Plier is to securely hold CDC feathers without damaging their delicate stems and fibers. Thanks to its special spring system, the plier grips the material firmly while preserving the natural structure of the feathers. It can hold up to 3 CDC feathers at the same time.
When working with CDC, it is essential to control the material without excessive pressure, as the fine fibers can easily be damaged or compressed. The Petitjean MP Plier allows precise positioning, preparation, and wrapping of CDC feathers when creating dry flies, emergers, and other technical patterns.
The tool is part of the specialized range of instruments from Petitjean Fishing Equipment, developed according to Marc Petitjean’s philosophy of maximum efficiency, simplicity, and control during fly tying.
