Boat moving wind blowing hands shaking. Hell I was spending half my damn time fishing threading the damn new lures on. Not anymore with my new Tyepro. Watch the video pretty cool invention the guy came up with even if your young with good eyes.

Thanks 4thIDvet, I just bought two of them. One for me and one for my ladyfriend that loves to fish. I too spend intirely too much time fooling around trying to tie a hook to a line.

I started out using the clinch knot but found that the palomar knot was faster and stronger. It's all I use now.

I try when I have to sew, but I only have one and a half eyes, and my depth perception sucks. Needle threaders barely help.

Depends on the line I"m using as to what knot. I use Improved Clinch, Palomar, and Snell Knots.
That is a handy gadget for a windy day. And it would be even better for ice fishing. I might have to order a couple.

Nah, I don't do a lot of fishing anymore and If I go on my son's boat it's for big game using the outriggers and large hook/bait/line. Thanks for the offer. The way my back is lately I don't even want to put up with a 30 mile boat trip to get out there.
