Smhaen Dubbing Needle Midge
Smhaen Dubbing Needle Midge is a precision fly tying needle designed specifically for working with small hook sizes and delicate materials. Developed by Danish manufacturer SMHAEN, this tool is part of a series of tying needles created to provide maximum control, accuracy, and enjoyment during the fly tying process.
Fly tyers work with a wide variety of fly sizes – from tiny midges and small dry flies to large streamers with bulky materials. This is why SMHAEN produces its tying needles in three different sizes, with each model optimized for a specific type of work. The Midge version is designed for fine and delicate fly patterns where precision is essential.
Smhaen Dubbing Needle Midge features a fine, specially hardened needle tip that provides excellent strength and durability. It allows easy manipulation and separation of dubbing fibers, adjustment of materials, and precise application of varnish, adhesives, and UV resin.
One of the distinctive features of this tool is the ergonomic handle with a flat side, which prevents the needle from rolling around the tying bench. This practical detail provides better organization and comfort during long tying sessions.
All components of the Smhaen Dubbing Needle Midge are manufactured with exceptional attention to detail and the high quality associated with SMHAEN tools. A quality tying tool does not simply make the work easier – it transforms fly tying into a more enjoyable and rewarding experience.
