Tie-fast

[DSFlyman]

I was at the fly show down here last weekend and saw The folks at tie-fast demo the knot tyer tool I've seen it around for years but never tried it or seen anyone use one. I was blown away. Easiest nail knots on the planet. I picked one up. Anyone else try this bad boy?

OH, yeah! The only one I can tie a Nail Knot with.

[ducksterman]

Yes...use it frequently.

Tie-fast is the only way to go for nails.

I have to get one of those, just watched the video and am impressed.

There is/was a video on using it...for a variety of ways...I searched but the links seem to dead end...

Also this tool...or one like it... I carry on the water...3 functions ...one of which is the fast tie type end.

BTW I like it for double uni's too.

Hi Paul. Great meeting you at the show this weekend. I saw the demo too. I bought one similar at the Fred Hall Show about a dozen years ago. It's lost on the bottom of my tackle bag. Guess I'll have to dig it out and start using it again. Jim

The Tie Fast Combo model is always with me on fresh waters. I like the clippers a lot (not so good for salt water), there is a good eye cleaner and tiny hook sharpener. I have used them for over 10 years and yet to have a complaint, and they work great for knotting too.

Greatest little invention, and I use the hook sharpener.
I have also a tiny version of the tool I keep on my key ring at my fly tying station.
