Loon Outdoors Ergo Hair Packer

The Loon Outdoors Ergo Hair Packer is an essential tool for fly tyers specializing in hair-tying techniques such as hair spinning and shaping bulky flies. Although, with a touch of humor, it could be said that the most important tool for working with hairs is a vacuum cleaner, the Hair Packer is a close second in the hierarchy of essentials. Its familiar shape is directly inspired by the cork handle of a fly rod, offering a natural, comfortable grip that reduces fatigue and improves control when compacting hairs. The tool's mass and conical shape provide the pressure needed to effectively compact bristles, ensuring that your bristle assemblies are as dense and resistant as possible, comparable to a well-packed bowl in a Mongolian barbecue. The Ergo Hair Packer is designed to be universal, with two different hole diameters to accommodate flies of various sizes, from small trout flies to large carnivorous streamers. The tool's bevelled ends not only allow extra pressure to be applied during compaction, but also enable the hairs to be worked right into the deep bends of the hook, where hair density is crucial to fly efficiency. Made from robust steel, the Ergo Hair Packer is built to last and withstand the rigors of fly tying, even for the most demanding fly tyers. Whether you're creating Deer Hair Bass Bugs, Muddlers, or any other tying requiring precise hair compaction, this tool will quickly become a staple of your workbench.
