What a beautifully tied fly. I love seeing them magnified, especially the ones tied on size 32 Mustards (I never did find one!).
All hail DonO, master of the micros.

Yup. I have the C&F hackle pliers and they help me tie parachutes when the hackle is getting small. Great tool!

Allan give Chuck a break. LOL

A rotary vise is useless for winding parachute hackles. The swivel hackle pliers is the way to go on them. That is all I have used for about 25 years. The long handle one is the best for that. I can show what I mean at the show., Gee now I am picking on you. LOL I am in a good mood this morning.

BTW, the poppers are finished and you can pick them up at the Sowbug.

Well, since Allan reminded me that since I have a rotary vise, in theory I already have rotating hackle pliers, and since I hadn’t actually hit the “order” button, I just deleted the pliers and jacked up the number of foam spider bodies I ordered which I KNOW I use all the time LOL.. Chuck

I can't help but laugh, we have been delicately trying to tell you not to bother because we hardly ever use rotary hackle pliers, but you bought both sizes anyhow.

Oh, I'm still laughing 😃

    Well, since these are so cheap, ($3.45 and $4.45 respectively) I
    went ahead and ordered two pair as one has a short handle of about
    1 1/2” I think and the other has a 4 1/2” handle with a built in
    half hitch tool on the end of the handle. Guess it’s the only way
    I can find out of they are my cup of tea or not. My Daddy did a
    lot of mechanic work his whole life and he used to tell me “Son,
    you can’t have too many tools” LOL.. Guess I’ll find out if he was
    right. In my mechanics tool box and my tool shed, most tools I own
    I hardly ever use , but when I need them I REALLY need them.
    Thanks to all, Chuck

    I have some, rarely use them, but don't usually use this kind of
    hackle pliers tip as I find  it breaks the hackle more often than
    the standard pliers tips that come together.  I think it is just a
    matter of preference.

        Folks: I’m getting a fly tying materials order and have always
        wanted to try a pair of Rotary Hackle Pliers. Do they work
        good?? Are they better than regular hackle pliers. Only
        problem I foresee is that after you wrap the hackle, those
        rotary pliers will hang down a lot farther than normal hackle
        pliers, making getting your lock in thread wraps behind the
        hackle would be harder to do than using reg. hackle pliers. Am
        I missing something there?? Thanks for any pros or cons. They
        are only $3.45 from Stockard, which is the place I’m ordering
        from, but if I’ll never use them, that’s $3.45 I could use on
        something I will use. Chuck
