What it is This is a fly-tying clamp set built from stainless steel with a rubberized, non-slip grip in the handle. The jaws are micro-serrated with a corrugated gripping face, and the jaw shape is offset so you can get in close without your fingers crowding the hook. It’s made to hold slippery or uneven materials securely and stay put at the vise. What to tie with it Use these clamps to manage materials while you spin dubbing loops, build composite loops, or work split-thread techniques. They’re also handy as a third hand for keeping fur, feathers, or synthetic fibers aligned and under tension while you measure, stack, trim, or transfer a bundle to the thread. Flies and the fish they're for These clamps show up in a lot of modern streamer tying because composite loops and split-thread work are common ways to build dense collars and brushes, especially on baitfish patterns for trout and smallmouth in rivers. The same loop-and-brush approach is also used on saltwater patterns tied for redfish, snook, and stripers where you want a durable, fiber-heavy profile that holds its shape after a few fish. Even on small bugs, being able to clamp and control a tiny pinch of dubbing or CDC-style fibers makes cleaner bodies and collars for trout on creeks and tailwaters.
