Renzetti R-Evolution Hair Packer Set by Pat Ehlers (SM–ME–LA)
Renzetti R-Evolution Hair Packer Set by Pat Ehlers is a professional three-piece hair packing tool set developed in collaboration with renowned fly tyer Pat Ehlers. Designed specifically for tying flies with deer hair, bucktail, elk hair, and other natural fibers, these tools allow materials to be packed tighter and more consistently, resulting in cleaner, denser, and more durable fly bodies and heads.
Unlike conventional hair packers, the R-Evolution design features a unique tapered funnel-shaped opening that guides loose hair tips away while applying pressure directly to the base of the fibers. This innovative geometry allows the material to be compressed more efficiently without damaging the hair, making it easier to create tightly packed deer hair patterns.
The set includes three sizes—Small (Midge), Medium, and Large—covering a wide range of hook sizes and tying applications. From small dry flies and Muddlers to large Bass Bugs, poppers, and streamers, you'll always have the correct tool for the job.
Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, each hair packer is built for years of professional use while providing excellent comfort and control. Like all Renzetti tools, the R-Evolution Hair Packer Set is proudly made in the USA with exceptional attention to quality and precision.
