Crackelback 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2006 I'm working on building a new tying bench, and I want to include a hackel gauge built into my desk, so...does anyone know where I can get a printable hackel gauge that I can use? I did see a hackel gauge at the fly shop this past weekend, but I'm too cheap to spend $7.00 on plastic and paper! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boba 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2006 Try Hook and Hackle. <http://www.hookhack.com/tyingtools.html> Scroll down a bit. Their gauge is $3.25. It's the same as higher priced ones. I have 4. I keep one in my travel tying kit and keep one in each of the three locations where I regularly tie. The gauge fits on the stem of your vise. Hook and Hackle is also good for materials and hooks if you know just what you want. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have seen lots of the cheaper model with off center sticker placement, skewing the actual hackle sizes. Just get one on the nice aluminum Whiting ones.
