Field Notes

A bodkin is a general fly-tying and rigging tool used to pick out knots, apply glue or head cement, clear hook eyes, and separate materials while tying flies. The pointed needle makes it useful for precise bench work rather than on-water fishing.

Pros

  • Ergonomic handle for comfortable grip
  • Sharp Japanese spring steel needle
  • Useful for multiple fly-tying tasks

Cons

  • Single-purpose tool with limited on-water use
  • Needle tip requires careful handling
