    Default Help Threading and Tie Jig....


    With poor unclose vision and arthritic fingers, I need all the help I can get when I tie a jig head to my pole. Ordered one of these think it will solve my problems.... https://tyepro.com/?utm_source=faceb...89610307983707

    This is a video I made a few years back and in it is a knot that I find easy to tie (even without my glasses) and works well with mono or braid. Hope you find something useful in the video. Holler if you still need help.....Skeet

    Looks like it will work. Please give us some feedback after you have used it.
    It is what it is!

    I ordered one those also. My eyesight is not the greatest and I fish very early mornings before the sun come up sometimes. I also fish in the winter which makes threading a jig a chore. The Tyepro should fit the bill. Threading your line thru a jig eye can be very difficult on small jig heads.

    This something I'm definitely going to have to look into.

    My son-in law got me one for Christmas. It does work and will help when tying on a jig but you have to get the eye in just right to line up with the hole in it. I use the clippers on it more than anything else.

    Same knot I have tied for years "cept I do it different. 50's 60s bassin knot. To tie a plain hook, jut add a small weight such as 1/4 oz bell weight or whatever to make the sinning easy.
