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.

Yes...use it frequently.

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

I have a Tie-Fast clipped to my lanyard and it is with me anytime I go fishing. That and the Cinch Knot Tyer tool are great, the only way to go.

When I was working the Washington State Council FFF both at the Bellevue, WA Fly Fishing Show, I took a walk around the show and ran into a group of women who call themselves Ladies of the Fly or something like that. The were standing around a birds nest mess of leader. They asked me if I knew how to tie knots.

I went over to the Tie-Fast booth and got a tool for them and showed them the nail knot. They loved it and I took them over to the booth. They ended up buying a number of tools from the dealer.

Everyone should have a Tie-Fast tool with them when fishing.

I use it to tie my line to my backing, my leader to my line and often I cut the leader and use a double nail knot to tie the leaders together.

A MUST HAVE TOOL!!!!!

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.

Have you tried the hendrix's outdoors nail knot tyer? It is a bit cooler looking, works just as well, and is about 1/3rd the price. The tie-fast is a durable tool tho (except nipper)!!
I like my hendrix better tho because the nipper on the tie-fast gets dull too fast . Have problems cutting line.

Thank you for the UTube video on how to use the Nail Knot quick tie. I have carried the nipper quick tie multi tool for ages but never used the quick tie. I love nail knots and you have made my life so much easier. Tried it out yesterday voila the light bulb came on.
