BPS - in the fly tying section, or may be at your local tackle shop

FYI- they come in 2 sizes - small and large. I have using the small one for years, and planning on getting the the bigger tool.
The small tying tool is great for 5-50 lbs test, but gets a little tight when you try to tie 100-125lbs test.

Good idea to get both sizes, and they make great stocking stuffers!:D

I can Uni snell a hook with 100lb mono pretty quickly with about 95% accuracy (having to retie).

Would there be any advantages of me getting one of these knot tying tools? I have always looked at them and said I'll save my 5 bucks because I can snell pretty good without it.

Great tool for tying nail knots and spider hitches on the fly.

No sense in wasting your money then, I like them especially when using the heavier stiffer mono, just never learned to snell properly by hand, so I keep one in the tackle bag, tho I usually go geared up with plenty of pre-rigged fish finders.

They are handy for some other types of knots as well, but certainly not essential, well maybe in a few years when the arthritis sets in :rolleyes:

the one I use can be seen at dubro.com
