A Closer Look At: ADH-Fishing Scissors & Hackle Pliers
I had the opportunity to test the new scissors and the hackle pliers from ADH-Fishing. These are real workhorses for your everyday cutting from small nymphs and dries up to tying with hair and fur or synthetics for bigger streamers.
There are four different scissors: Adjustable Razor Scissors, Ergo All Purpose Scissors, Ergo Arrow Point Scissors and Ergo Hair Scissors
When you first see them, you might think „they look quite similar to the scissors from the famous company …“. Yes, you are right, they look quite similar, because they are made in the same factory from the same stainless steel.
Same with the hackle pliers with the serrated tips. Works very nice. Strong and holds material and hackles firmly.
So you might ask yourself „Why should I buy these instead the ones from the famous company?“ That’s a good question and there is a simple answer: the ADH-Fishing tools are the same quality, but they are cheaper! A better price-quality ratio.
If your need some new scissors or hackle pliers for your tying season, you should definitely take a closer look at the ADH-Fihing tools. Best bang for the buck.
Fly Tier’s Little Helper – Part 3 – Flea Comb
Here’s the third part of „Fly Tier’s Little Helper“. I will show you things, which I’ve used since some years and which helped me tying my flies or organize my tying place.
The flea comp is a very important tool on my tying desk and I use it a lot. I often see, that many people doesn’t prepare their tying material before they tie it in. The result is a fly which looks… let’s say crumpled. Almost every hair, natural or synthetic should be combed.
fox hair before and after combing
It’s for example also very usefull to comb out the under wool of deer hair.
Even for fast smaller dubbing mixes I use the flea comb. You can see it here in this video:

In my pike streamer box is also a flea comb. Sometimes pike flies made with natural hair become felted after fishing and the attack of some fish. Let them dry and then use your flea comb. After using it, the flies will look almost like new.
You can get a flea comb in every pet shop for usually something around 5,- Euro. A great tool on your tying desk, which you will love after a short while.
Magic Shrimp #6
This is the last Magic Shrimp for a while, because I have to order new material for the legs.
This shrimp is very translucent und I think it will work very good on cloudy days with clear water, when the body gives a nice „bling bling“ in the water.
Bread and Butter
Good things are often very simple. Like these small nymphs tied on a short shank hook. The body length without the bead is 5mm. Even this are small nymphs, the hook gap is pretty big, so the hooking quality is still good. You can fish the nymphs very deep and you don’t have to be afraid of loosing them, because if you do so, you can tie some new ones in a short time.
