Something you may not have thought about...
One day while waiting in line and Lowe's, I saw these "Magnetic Business Card" holders. So you could stick your business card on one of these and give it to someone for a fridge magnet.
Well, I never used them for that, really.
But I did think about it for my tying area and stuck 5 of them on the board my vise is mounted to.
Now, instead of opening the hook box over and over, I get out the number of hooks I want to tye and put them on one of these stuck-down magnets to hold until I pick one up with my tweezers for the vise.
Yesterday I was tying some fly's (red butt ants) I wanted to do in two parts and the half finished fly's just stuck there magically until I remounted them for part dux of my process.
I'm also hoping that a dropped hook will be attracted to the magnetic pad, instead of my foot (sock) on the floor.
So if you find some of these, or wonder about a better use for one of these fridge magnets... think about your tying area to hold some hooks.
And yeah, I know, please excuse the beer can rings on the Tying Board. My bad!
