C&F Design Midge Biot Pliers are specially designed for smooth winding of flat materials such as goose or turkey biots, with a head rotated 9 degrees compared to our standard hackle pliers. This unique design facilitates precise, detailed fly-tying, allowing smooth, even winding of biots onto the hook shank.
The heads of the hackles feature a slight flare at the nose to minimize the risk of cutting material when handling them. This feature is essential for fly tyers working with delicate materials, offering greater safety and preserving the integrity of their creations.
The gripping surface inside the pliers is sandblasted to prevent slipping, ensuring a firm, secure grip on materials as they are wound. This finish ensures that the materials remain in place, allowing precise control and a perfect fly finish.
The shock-absorbing elastomer joint and rubber ring provide a pleasant tactile feel and adequate tension during tying. These elements contribute to a more comfortable and efficient tying experience, reducing fatigue and increasing accuracy.
The Midge C&F Design Biot Tippers are an essential tool for fly tyers looking to improve their technique and fly quality, especially when using flat materials. Their thoughtful design and innovative features make them a preferred choice for professional and amateur fly tyers alike.
