Brassie Brand “Hair-Packer” by Chris Helms

When it comes to spinning and stacking deer hair, the right tool can make all the difference—and the Brassie Brand “Hair-Packer” by Chris Helms is the industry standard for serious fly tyers. Precision-engineered and thoughtfully designed, this tool is essential for creating tightly packed, clean, and buoyant deer hair bodies and heads.

After spinning hair onto the hook shank, the Hair-Packer's unique notched design allows you to grip the shank securely without damaging your materials. Simply place the notches around the hook shank, apply gentle but firm pressure, and push the hair toward the hook bend. The result? Densely packed hair that holds its shape, floats better, and trims cleanly—whether you're tying bass bugs, muddlers, or bombers.

Unlike improvised packing methods or basic DIY tools, this professional-grade packer compresses both the thread base and the deer hair simultaneously, ensuring a secure and durable tie. It’s also ideal for maintaining consistent proportions and preventing flaring in unwanted directions, giving your flies a cleaner, more refined finish.

Crafted from durable brass and built to last, the Brassie Hair-Packer offers comfort, control, and effectiveness with every tie. It’s not just another accessory—it’s a critical addition to any fly tyer’s bench who works with deer hair regularly.

For tiers who demand performance and precision, trust the tool developed by one of the most respected names in deer hair tying.

Pack like a pro—because no other tool does it better.
