If you are tying a bunch of knots, a tool like the Tie-Fast is the way to go. If you only tie the occasional nail knot, a hallow plastic coffee stirrer works pretty good as long as you take your time and don’t get your wraps crossed.
Eric,
No. Just a nickname. Went to Fresno State.
Have a good one.

Looked at that little puppy a bit differently last night (at BP)… and it found its’ way home with me! Thank you for posting the video!! THAT’s what sold me!
Having used this tool both at the bench as well as on the water I’ve had the inspiration to make a small improvement by sliding a small piece of silicone aquarium tubing onto the tool and trimming it to fit the “thumb pad”. Achieving for a more sensitive and secure grip on the line.
Your mileage may vary of course.
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.
Went out and bought two today, one for me and one for my daughter.
Picked up some size 26 nymph hooks, don’t think this will help me tie those on as I can’t see the eye to get the line through.

Well as long as you are in a GADGET Mode…you will be needing one of these:
I can thread a #32 with this gizmo!
“I can thread a #32 with this gizmo!”
How do you get the trout to put on Glasses so they can see the 32s???
I was actualy looking for 32s when I bought the size 26, I was looking for a challenge for tying, perhaps next time I will find some 32s
Eric
I get my 32’s from a Sponser here,

Mike
Sure sold me via that video. Do any of the sponsors herein/on sell this gem??
Mark
Thanks for the video. Went out and got myself one and redid all my previous knots. Much easier and quicker with the tool.
I am waiting on mine from the mail. plan on starting to use it when fishing my streamers.
Oh, hell yes…It’s the first “gadget” that I bought!!!
I have kept one in my reel case…on my lanyard…in my float tube…and in the garage where I will work on lines…sprinkle them around like reading glasses:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:.
Wow, up until last year I would have laughed at that - My eyes are going - great gadget - where from?

DSF,

FG is more talented than I am…She can do a 32? I have gone to a size 24 & never tried smaller.
Mike
Of course…DOT MAN! Sorry, I forgot.
Here you go:
I think these are 30’s
FG,
That’s ok…You & I had both posted at the same time…I never saw your post until I finished mine. I certainly didn’t knowingly post “over” you. I hope you didn’t read my reply as a “correction”.
Mike
