Anyone who works with deer hair or bucktail to make (large) flies will be familiar with the technique of "spinning". In addition to the even distribution of the hair around the hook shank, it is also necessary to work with a certain amount of pressure to ensure the necessary density of the hair. The Stonfo 651 Hair Packer is an incredibly useful tool for packing the tying material tightly and thus obtaining a perfectly formed fly, or rather fly head. Two different diameter openings (on both sides) of the Hair Packer allow working with various hook sizes. Simply place the Hair Packer on the hook eye and press it against the tied material. The result is hair that is extremely tightly packed and can be worked into amazingly good shapes using a razor blade, for example.
The Stonfo Hair Packer is a useful tying tool to "pack" the Perfect Bucktail Head on a big pike streamer, but also to stuff high drifting dense Caddis bodies.
