Hareline SWISSCDC MultiBrush Fly Tying Tool – Precision Front Brush & Serrated Back Brush

Overview

Hareline's SWISSCDC MultiBrush is built for the dedicated fly tyer. Weighing about 27 grams, it sits as a pen-like tool in the hand, offering precise control as you work on delicate materials. The balance and weight distribution are designed to reduce hand fatigue during long tying sessions, while the compact form lets you reach tight spaces on small hooks. The design blends durability with a light touch, encouraging careful, detail-focused brushing at the tying bench.

Front brush for precision detailing

The front brush is stainless steel and finely tuned for sensitive brushing of small parts. The bristles are stiff enough to hold their shape yet forgiving on delicate hackles, making it suitable for precise work on CDC feathers and fine dubbing. The brush feels like writing with a pen, helping you stay in control as you refine tiny fibers.

• Small, round steel bristles target tiny parts without collapsing delicate hackles
• Supports controlled brushing of CDC, dubbing, and micro-feathers

Back brush for texture and bulk handling

The back end features a coarse serrated brush designed to remove undercoat and shape material in larger bites. It can handle voluminous streamers and clustered hair, helping prep materials for smoother application. When used with steady hands, it can help you build bulk or texture without snagging on the fibers.

• Efficient undercoat removal for clean, defined grooming
• Helpful for buffing and shaping larger fly components

Rear cutout and a versatile tip

A small V-shaped cutout at the rear makes it easier to double feathers for salmon patterns or secure front hackles on streamers. The pointed spout at the tip is ready for a range of tying tasks that come up at the bench, from precise dab applications to thread management in tight spots.

Durable, replaceable, and uniquely numbered

Built for long-term use, the MultiBrush combines a heavy, indestructible feel with practical longevity. The front brush is replaceable via an optional kit, ensuring the tool remains a staple rather than a throwaway. Each unit carries a consecutive production number for traceability, adding a touch of collectability while signaling its place in Hareline's ongoing product line.

Why this tool may fit your tying workflow

For the dedicated tyer, the MultiBrush offers a multi-function approach that can support precise detailing, efficient material prep, and quick adjustments during sessions. It may help you maintain consistent brush pressure and speeds across flies, acting as a versatile partner in a well-rounded tying set. As with any tool, results depend on technique and practice, so this could be a useful addition rather than a guaranteed shortcut.
