Hackle pliers for midges with thin tips.

The sandblasted jaws on the inside of the tips hold even small hackles securely.
The elastomer rubber at the joints has moderate elasticity and can be expected to function as a shock absorber.
When winding delicate hackles where the stem is not strong enough, you can remove the gravity ring to make it lighter.

The inside of the pliers has been sandblasted for a non-slip finish.
The edges of the tips are rounded all around to hold the hackle stalk firmly and prevent it from being damaged by the edges.
The shock absorber at the joints stretches just enough to allow you to maintain the delicate feeling of your fingertips when winding the hackle.
