Anthony, the spring is just a short extension spring clipped onto itself around the arm that holds the jaws.

When you tie a fly, typically the materials that need to be wrapped up the hook last, need to be tied in first. For example, lots of aquatic insects have segmented bodies. In fly tying, this segmentation effect is done by wrapping a piece of fine diameter coloured wire up the body in open spiralling turns, this will create a colour contrast to the body underneath, and give you the segments.

When you tie this wire in, you have to keep it out if the way while you tie in other materials- to do this you just pop the wire into the coils of the spring to trapit, along with any other long materials you may be using.
