Hair Packers/Stackers FAQ

Q: What are hair packers and hair stackers used for in fly tying?
A: Hair packers and stackers are essential tools for working with deer, elk, and other natural hairs when tying flies like muddlers, hoppers, and bass bugs. Stackers help align the hair tips perfectly, while packers compress spun hair tightly against the hook shank for dense, even bodies and heads.

Q: What’s the difference between a hair packer and a hair stacker?
A: A hair stacker aligns the tips of natural hair so your fly wings or tails are uniform and professional-looking. A hair packer compresses stacked or spun hair tightly on the hook for durable, dense patterns like poppers or muddlers.

Q: Why use a hair stacker?
A: Using a stacker ensures even, consistent hair tips on dry flies and streamers, improving both appearance and performance on the water.
Q: When should I use a hair packer?
A: Use a hair packer after spinning or flaring hair on the hook to compress it neatly. This gives your flies a dense body and smooth surface for trimming or shaping.

Q: What materials work best with packers and stackers?
A: Both tools are ideal for deer, elk, moose, and calf hair, as well as synthetics. Choose the tool size that matches your fly scale — small stackers for dries and larger packers for bass bugs or streamers.

Q: What are they made from?
A: Most are crafted from metal, aluminum, or durable plastic for long life and precise operation. Premium models use polished brass or steel for smoother stacking and tighter compression.

Q: Why carry hair packers and stackers at Drift Outfitters?
A: Because these tools are fundamental for any serious tier — they make hair flies cleaner, denser, and more consistent. At Drift Outfitters, we stock trusted brands like Loon Outdoors, Stonfo, Renzetti, and Griffin so you can tie with confidence.
