Dr. Slick Hair Stacker Small (1-3/4") Satin Finish with Padded Base | Stainless Steel

Precision hair stacking for fly tying

Dr. Slick’s Hair Stacker, Small is the go-to tool when working with very short sections of deer, elk, and moose hair fibers. It helps you stack and align hair tails and wings with consistency, enabling you to craft ties that look deliberate and well-formed, even in tight patterns. This isn’t about a single trick—it’s about a repeatable setup you can trust as your patterns evolve from one tying session to the next.

The Satin finish offers a classic, durable feel and a smooth action that many tiers appreciate during extended bench time. The neoprene padded base cushions your work surface, reducing slips and protecting your workspace while you shape, stack, and trim. With a tool that balances weight, you may notice a calmer, more controlled workflow as you refine your technique and pattern alignment.

Finish options to match your material needs

Finishes include Brass, Aluminum, and Stainless Steel—each delivering a distinct experience and performance profile. This versatility lets you pair the stacker with different hair types and materials while maintaining comfortable handling at the vise.

• Brass finish: traditional look with smooth action and steady static behavior.
• Aluminum finish: lighter weight, well-suited for synthetic or higher-static fibers.
• Stainless steel finish: the heaviest option, designed for stacking heavier materials with solid control.

Sizes crafted for pattern precision

The Small Hair Stacker is available in 1.75 inches, 2 inches, and 2.75 inches to accommodate various tail and wing requirements. The compact form helps you manage short segments while keeping patterns crisp and repeatable.
