I found the perfect egg tying solution. A friend passed along to me!
Find an old bic pen. I like the clear ones. Pull the pen part out and discard. Get a heavy braid fishing line or heavy mono to pull the egg yarn through the pen. Snip off about 1/4 inch out from end of the pen and leave the rest dangling out the other end. Now when you tie eggs all you have to do is get a stout egg hook, good thread and simply tie it in. Snip and repeat! It's the best thing since sliced bread!!!! No more trying to hold the yarn down nice and tight to the hook.

These pen bodies also make excellent half hitch tools for deer hair bugs as well as a decent packer.

Best Regards!
