Hi Guys, I haven't posted here for a while. As some of you may know, I have only been fishing for a couple of years as I never fished as a kid. For this reason I missed out on acquiring all the basic skills. Even hook tying has been a learning curve. Eyed hooks were not so much of a problem but spade end hooks are another matter. I have been experimenting with tying spade end hooks for a while. I know I can buy them ready tied but it bugged me that I could not do it myself. I have tried all sorts of hookers, I even spent a kings ransom on a ZT Pro hook tyer - my thoughts on it can be found HERE. I found I could tie a hook easier with a tyer if I could hold the line tight and I came up with a magnetic solution while trying to tie knots with a Matchman like this: Click on the image for more details. I up-graded to a Stonfo tyer, the small one is good for the really fine hooks. After all this messing around I eventually managed to tie a size 18 spade end hook by hand! Who needs hook tyers? Well me, I still can't tie size 22s or smaller without help... Yet! I think I get just as much fun out of the preparation as I do out of the fishing - almost. That is probably just as well as I have probably spent as much on end tackle and 'tools' as I have on rods and reels. Ralph.

Hi all I have been looking into hooks and floats and i have noticed there are many different ones that are the same. Ive been specificaly looking at preston hooks and they have several hooks of the same size with different numbers, where can i find the info about what each of these different hooks are for and why. I have looked on the preston website and found nothing really helpful. Also i ask the same question about pole floats. There are several versions of a bodied float or dibber but very little info on why each one is different. Any help on this would be excellent. Thanks all
