Apologies if this has been asked before.

What are and where do you get the fly holders that I see in people's photo's.
I believe they are some kind of electrical connector.

you are absolutely correct. they originated in the electronic/electrical industry and found their way into fly tying as a hackle plier and now as a fly holder.

ebay has them

I was watching a tying demo by Paul Little last weekend and Maplins was mentioned so I assumed they were electrical.

Anyway 10 fly clips (electrical connectors) purchased from ebay for 4.28 delivered !


Many thanks

I got mine from Scratch on here ages ago . Drilled some holes in a bit of wood popped them in and Bob's yer uncle Did get some from e bay but they were not of the same quality as Scratch's . Glued some magnetic strips round it to hold hooks as well which ive found to be quite handy . Spot the wee trout in the middle of it .
