Why tie and fish with Dr. Slick?
A scissor for every material
- Arrow and MicroTip: fine blades and fine tips for small flies and detail work.
- All Purpose and Hair: everyday tying, and heavy blades for hair and tough materials.
- Razor: razor-edge blades made from 440 grade steel, with adjustable tension.
- Prism and Tungsten Carbide: a Titanium Nitride coating or T.C. blades (7x harder than stainless steel) for modern synthetics.
Clamps, nippers and pliers for the water
Standard and Spring Creek clamps handle everything from #26 midges to #6 buggers, Scissor Clamps add a serrated scissor and screwdriver, Mitten clamps work with gloves, and Long Range clamps keep teeth and big hooks at a distance. Cyclone nippers use tungsten carbide blades (Rockwell 70+), and the aluminum pliers come with tungsten carbide side cutters, a coiled lanyard and a holster.
Which clamp size?
Match the clamp to the fly. Shorter clamps have smaller, lighter jaws and longer clamps have larger, heavier jaws: a 4 inch clamp will struggle to crush the barb on a #4 streamer, and a 6 inch clamp is too big for a #22 midge.
