Description

Look at the curved Hair model when the job is shaping a profile after the fibers are tied in. The curve changes the angle at which you can follow the body. The longer Hair frame is also useful if a compact pair gives you too little reach around a large fly.

Fit and buying advice

If you mostly cut an unshaped clump to length on the bench, compare the straight Hair version. If you're trimming tiny fibers near a fine wrap, a compact curved pair with a finer tip can be easier to place.
