JR, my daughter socolaitgirl sent a facebook link to Linda and she had me order a pair for 12.99 from Amazon with free shipping. They will be here in 2 days. I always use a palomar know because I use a lot of braid but Linda's jig pole has mono and she does her best to tie a clinch knot. She saw how easy this tool makes it so she had to have it.

i always wonder when I see things like this Y DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT 1st
that looks pretty slick, course seems like amazon is the only one with them and they are out.
I tie a loop knot so that the jig can freely pivot on the line, it allows the jig to have better action. It also always hangs properly, with the cinch knot, I was constantly pulling the knot back towards the point of the hook.
Ive seen that commercial a million times. Gonna be Mr negative here..They make it look easy...which it may very well be. But I bet the same amount of effort goes into using that than goes into tying a knot without it. The speed demon in the video probably practiced all day before filming that - which by that time you couldve practiced tying a regular knot.
Im sorry Im usually never negative... But I hate all the gimmicky stuff they sell on TV commercials. And this appears to be no different.

Gimmicky or not, if after practicing for a while my wife can tie a knot herself without interrupting my fishing, it will be worth the 6.50 I paid for one. It will also give her confidence in knowing that she has done it herself.

Amen PPG, I spend most of my time tying knots while the boys fish and break off.
But there would be no joy without them.
Buster, I fully understand. You're their hero and I you're my hero. Great to have you, Carolyn and the boys as our friends.
Blessings
