The Griffin Bodkin has a lot going for it, all neatly packed into an ergonomic, no-nonsense package. The hexagonal plastic handle keeps the tool from rolling out of reach and it provides the perfect amount of texture for a secure grip. The 2″ needle is just the right length for precise control whether you’re picking out dubbing, tying a half hitch, or applying head cement. You won’t find a simpler or more useful fly-tying accessory.
