Dr. Slick

Dr. Slick of Belgrade, Montana makes some of the most-loved tying tools and angler tools in fly fishing. Their bobbins, hair scissors, forceps, hackle pliers, whip finishers, and nippers strike a sweet spot of price, quality, and feel that's earned them a permanent spot on most tying benches and in most wading vests.

Whether you're just setting up your first tying station or replacing well-worn tools after a few seasons, Dr. Slick is hard to beat for the money — and the lifetime durability means most pieces you buy now will still be on the bench a decade from now.
