The Tiemco Soft-Tip Hackle Pliers are a simple but essential tool for any fly tyer who wants to work cleanly and protect delicate hackle fibres. With soft silicone rubber tips, these pliers grip feather tips firmly without crushing or breaking the stem — ideal when tying dries, emergers, or soft hackle flies where feather integrity matters. Two versions exist: the Standard size, for general use, and a Small version for working on smaller flies like midges or light, delicate patterns.
