What's really cool about these fishing knot tying tools is that you don't have to worry so much about fat-fingering your line and getting everything all tangled up. As many fishing knots depend on several clean twists, this tool makes that job much smoother - just hold the tool in one hand and place the hook inside and snap it shut. Run your line through the hook and spin the hook until you have the number of twists you require. Finish the knot and release the hook to bait and cast!This tool is also super cool for holding your snelled hooks on the rod while traveling or setting up. It's an excellent hook guard, too. The curved wire attachment comes in handy for looping the protected hook to the line guide and safely holding it there until needed.I really like these fishing knot typing tools because they are more than just that. I'm happy that they came in a multi-pack, too!I can definitely recommend them for yourself or for your favorite fisherman... or woman!
