Oh dear....the day I buy this will be the day I quit fishing. I have my reasons.

$14.99................lol

This is something I can definitely utilize.

 

Fly fishing in lowlight conditions early & late in the day and even after dark, changing flies is a challenge for me, even with magnified readers (glasses).

 

I'm going to try it.

 

Thank you for posting it.

Good idea.

 

Could help us tie our knots faster and better.

 

Hope someone gets one and can try it out in order to post back what they think about it.

Looks like you could make one with a clothes pin....

I like it.

Hootie

Kind of expensive, but I ordered 3 anyway.  Giving 2 away.  My eyes aren't the best so this should be a big help.  Will post back after getting to use it.

Take my money!!

I might try it. Looks like it's limited with regard to the number of different knots it can tie. I only use the clinch knot in limited circumstances.

Little pricey, but looks like a good idea, especially for low light situations. If that could keep me from using a headlamp that would be great.

Holy cow that's awesome!! I can see that as useful for me.

 

I remember when learning bottom fishing long pole technique

from an elderly Korean man, he was trying to thread a hook but

kept missing it. I helped him, but inside I laughed and felt sad

for him at the same time. It was so easy for me to see the eye

and get the 6lb test line thru it.

 

That is until the first time it happened to me after my eyes started

"the change" after I turned 40....

 

These things find a way to come back and bite you in the butt, LOL.

Unless it ties the knot for me, I'm not buying

I can see the eyelet of the hooks just fine. but my hands just don't hold a hook! I have used a my hemostats in the past but this looks like it my do the trick.

Bit overwhelmed at the enthusiasm. I kinda thought it was the chuckle of the day, given the price tag. If it works for us go4it.

I once knew a girl that could tie a knot in a cherry stem

 

I am blind in one ey and not so great in the other from Diabetes. This should help me imencely. 

Take my money!!

You forgot the picture to go with that.

I can barely see, should be replacing my 5 year old glasses instead of being on this site and buying fising line but I GOTTA HAVE IT!

I am going to wait for the 2.0 version.  It sends a small robot up your line checking for nicks, chooses where to cut the line and then chastises you for fishing with monofilament...

Neat little tool, especially for us that wear glasses...I have a hard time seeing up close with my glasses on, and have to remove them to tie.

I have had a similar tool for tying snell knots for years...forget the name of it, but it's handy.

I'll say it if no one else does.....for us older fishermen and women this seems like a worth-while product. As we get older certain things start to fail us. Maybe its the hairline, or the bum knee, or maybe its our eyes. In any case, this is like * for our eyes. :0

Looks like you could make one with a clothes pin....

And sell it for $10.99!

How does it do my uni to uni and my Modified Albright???

JK, looks like a pretty useful tool in certain conditions, cold being one of them. Wish I had invented it.

I think a lot of us are missing the point of this tool. It's used to thread the line through the eye of the hook, not a knot tool. Most of use old folks need a little help ( some more than others). Pass the line through the hook eye and tie whatever knot you want. Would I buy it? No, but maybe, someday I may have to. $15 is a lot to spend for a tool, unless it will help you keep on fishing. nuff said.

Looks like it would either make a Palomar a little easier or waaaaaayyyy harder to tie . Would like to see a demonstration of multiple knots before buying. The idea however is great and I'm surprised this wasn't made 20-30 years ago.
