    Default For those 40 and up


    What kind of knot tying glasses do some of you guys use? I have 20/20 vision but at 46 years old, my arms are now getting too short to tie a jig head on. LOL

    I figure I'll get some Dollar Gentral readers but wasn't sure what "power" I should start with. Any better idees?

    Go in and take something with fine print with you and just try them on. Start out with, say, a 1.5 power and check them out to 2.5 or so. You will find the ones that work best and then as you age, keep checking them with the stronger powers.

    Thanks for the replies. I didn't think about taking something with fine print in. Good idea.

    Bama, I can tie em in the bright daytime but even with a good head lamp at night, or at dawn or dusk, it's just getting impossible.
