Hareline Dr. Slick Standard Clamp

The Dr. Slick Standard Clamp is a compact fly-fishing streamside clamp designed for quick hook removal, barb crushing and closing shot tasks while on the water. Available in straight or curved tips and finishes including Black, Gold Loops and Prism (Titanium Nitride), this forceps-style clamp gives anglers precise, needle-nose control in a lightweight, field-ready tool.

Key Features

• Jaw Options: Half smooth/half striated or full smooth jaws for delicate barbless work or firmer grip when crushing barbs.
• Tip Styles: Straight and curved needle-nose tips reach into tight fly patterns and allow precise hook manipulation.
• Construction: Pin-in shank design for reliable alignment and long-term durability in field conditions.
• Finishes: Available in Black, Gold Loops and Prism (Titanium Nitride) for corrosion resistance and visibility.
• Sizes: Offered in 4 in, 5 in, 5.5 in and 6 in to match different rigs and angler preferences.

Whether you’re removing barbed hooks from a wary trout, crushing barbs on tiny nymphs, or closing shot, Dr. Slick clamps provide controlled handling and exact tip contact. The 5 in models are extremely lightweight (multiple retailer listings indicate product weight around 2 ounces), making them easy to carry on a vest or lanyard; larger 6 in models offer extra reach for deeper hook sets and heavier flies. The compact profile and ergonomic handles make these clamps a practical choice for streamside use and as a fly-tying station backup.
