Dr. Slick WF6-ST 6-Inch Stainless Rotary Whip Finisher
The six-inch satin stainless finisher with a rotating wire head and a half-hitch end.
Description
Choose the longer frame if your hand needs more room around a bulky fly or a longer hook. The rotating head guides the thread as you build a whip finish. Compare how much room the wire path needs near your jaws, rather than choosing by handle length alone.
