C&F Midge Hackle Plier
C&F Midge Hackle Plier is a professional fly tying hackle plier specially designed for precise work with small feathers, fine hackles, and delicate fly tying materials. Developed by Japanese manufacturer C&F Design, it provides exceptional control, secure grip, and a compact construction optimized for small dry flies, midges, and parachute patterns.
The Midge Hackle Plier features slim and precise jaws that provide excellent visibility and access when working around small hooks and delicate fly constructions. This makes it especially suitable for winding small hackles where control and attention to detail are essential.
The inner surfaces of the jaws feature a sandblasted finish that prevents slipping and provides a secure hold even on fine hackle stems. The rounded edges of the tips help protect delicate feathers from being damaged or cut during wrapping.
The elastomer connection between the plier head and handle works as a shock absorber, allowing controlled flexibility during hackle winding. This provides a smoother wrapping motion and helps reduce the risk of breaking delicate hackle stems.
The compact size and precision construction make C&F Midge Hackle Plier an ideal tool for fly tyers who work with small patterns and require maximum control when creating fine hackles.
