The Tiemco Twin Hackle Gauge is an essential tool for fly tiers who value precision and consistency. Designed to mount directly onto your fly tying vise, it helps you select the ideal hackle size for both standard and parachute fly patterns.
Equipped with two tapered measuring pins—one for traditional flies and the other for parachutes—the gauge allows you to compare hackle length accurately and efficiently. The tapered pins prevent the feather from slipping, ensuring reliable measurements every time.
The mounting hole is slightly larger than the average vise stem diameter, allowing the gauge to tilt toward the tier for better visibility and rotate easily out of the way when not in use. Compatible with most standard vise stems.
