    Default Tying devise


    I've gotten to where I have a hard time tying line to jigs.I wear contacts for distance and readers for up close. I saw this devise and it looked like something that would help me with threading line through small jig eyes and tye a knot with ease. What yall think?TYEPRO | Topnotch Innovations

    Just ordered me one off Amazon. With my eye sight this may be a blessing. Worth a try.
    Biggest crappie to date is 3 lb 9 oz at grenada in 1988. Still hangs on my wall.

    Got 2 of them when they first came out. They work great on Mono but hole is a little small for Braid. Took a slightly larger drill bit and enlarged the hole to accomidate the braid and now works fine.

    I thought braid was smaller diameter.

    It is but when you cut it there is a tendancy to have a little fray which makes it harder to put through the existing hole.

    I'm so glad the fishing conditions I normally fish don't require braid.
