Ezee Hackle Pliers give fly tyers a simple, controlled way to grip and wind hackles without crushing or slipping on more delicate feathers. Designed by Turrall, these handy hackle pliers use a spring loaded wire loop that opens by pushing the base towards the loop, making them straightforward to use at the tying bench.

For anglers tying dry flies, wets, spiders, nymphs or palmered patterns, good hackle control makes a real difference. These fly tying hackle pliers help hold the hackle securely while allowing you to wind the feather neatly around the hook shank, especially when working with fine stems or softer materials.

The Turrall Ezee Hackle Pliers are a practical Turrall fly tying tool built to hold hackle using a spring loaded wire loop rather than a conventional clip-style jaw. The loop is released by pushing the base towards the wire loop, allowing the hackle to be inserted and gripped ready for winding.

This style of grip is particularly useful when working with delicate hackles, as it is designed to be forgiving on finer feathers. That can help reduce breakages, especially when tying smaller trout flies or patterns where the hackle stem needs careful handling.

Fly tyers often choose this type of hackle winding tool because it offers better control over the feather during wrapping. Whether you are tying at home, restocking your fly box, or adding a useful tool to your fly tying kit, the Ezee Hackle Pliers are a sensible bench item from Turrall, available from troutcatchers.

Ezee Hackle Pliers Top Tips

Push the base towards the wire loop to open the grip, then place the hackle stem carefully into the loop.
Grip the hackle near the stem end, but avoid clamping too close to the fibres you want to wind.
Keep steady, gentle tension as you wrap the hackle around the hook.
When using very fine or dry fly hackles, take your time and avoid over-pulling the stem.
For palmered hackles, use the pliers to maintain even tension along the body.
After use, keep the tool clean and free from varnish, wax or dubbing residue so the mechanism stays easy to operate.

Rubbish, won't be buying these again. the grip on the feather is pathetic.

Bob C.

Thank you for your feedback. We apologise for any dissatisfaction you may have experienced with these pliers. They are specifically designed to handle delicate hackles and secure small materials effectively. They are conveniently operated using your thumb, index, and middle finger. Once you grasp the tying material, the finger ring enables easy wrapping along the hook shank. However, if you are still not satisfied, please feel free to return the product, and we will gladly offer a refund or exchange. Hope this helps.
