  2. I've never used one of those hook tyers, I manage ok by hand. I know it's not a race but to be honest I think I can tye them much quicker by hand. Handy vid for people wanting to use a tyer Martin . I'm amazed at the comments people are posting on the other forum, claiming the spade cuts through the line, the line should go behind the spade etc.....bonkers comes to mind!

  3. I don't tie hooks anymore but, when I did, I could also tie them perfectly well by hand. (without a hook tying device) Yes I've used hook tiers as well & also made them from a wooden spring clothes peg with a panel pin (head nipped off) knocked in the side to loop the line around & the front of the peg flattened off for a closer grip on the hook bend. Spade End wins hands down for plain hooks to Nylon. Make sure the line finishes on the INSIDE of the shank as spade ends turn outwards & so can otherwise cut the line. Like this ........ (for anyone new to spade end tying) OK the line looks thick, - maybe for Demo' purposes?
