I’ve
recently encountered some trouble with my Seymo Loop Tyer, and although the
knots have never failed me, they seem to be getting bigger than I require. So I
decided to give the Preston Innovations Loop Tyer a whirl. It was a bit of a
school boy error, but I managed to pick on up without instructions! So I had to
spend a little while working out how to use this little fella, but once I did I
was very pleased with the consistent and small loops I was creating. This
little tool will be in my tackle box from now on.
If you have
one, but are not sure how to use it, here’s how.
Bring the
tag end around and form a loop
Holding the
loop tyer in one hand and your line in the other, user the hook tyer to create
a V shape, with the loop one side and the tag end and mainline on the other.
Twist the
loop around the mainline and tag once or twice (anymore will cause unnecessary
friction and compromise the strength of the knot.
Once twisted
pass the loop through the small gap at the top of the loop tyer.
Lubricate,
and slowly pull tight on the mainline/tag end. This will tighten the start of
the knot down on to the plastic.
Pull the
line that was initially held in the neck of the loop tyer around the bend and
towards the knot, pulling the mainline.
Pull tight to complete the knot.
Snip off
the tag end and unhook the loop from the loop tyer.
It sounds
more complicated than it actually is, but once you’ve done it once or twice to
practice it becomes very quick and easy.
There you
have it a perfect miniature loop which can be used for anything from loop to
loop connections to hair rig loops.
