Great little tool,
May 13, 2013
By: AlwaysSearching
from Michigan
"Every once in a while someone discovers something that changes the way we do things for the better. This is one of them. It's so easy and fast that I have to laugh every time I use it. So simple yet so effective. Works well for joining two lines together too, like for making leaders."

Must Have Tool,
January 8, 2013
By: Ts47
from MD suburbs of DC
"As my father used to say... This thing is slicker than sliced bread!
I hated trying to tie a nail knot. The last time I needed one tied, I got one of the guys with me to tie it. Even then, it was a pain and time consuming. This little tool does it fast. I can tie a nail knot with this tool in the same amount of time as a clinch knot."

Really handy basic tool,
December 29, 2012
By: tommyz
from Charlotte Harbor, FL
"I fish saltwater and always had trouble tying a small knot when joining fluorocarbon leader to braided super line. This basic tool makes it a snap. My first practice turned out perfectly and it is particularly handy when retying out on the water in the wind. Small price, big results!"

Saving Time on the Water,
December 28, 2012
By: Xenia
from Stratford, CT
"I bought the Fast-Knot tool and just LOVE it. I don't use it often but when I did use it, it did exactly what it was supposed to do - and then some! I was fly fishing the Flats of Belize and hooked a really big Tarpon - he got into deep water and nearly spooled me. I had to re-rig my fly line and the Fast-Knot allowed me to tie a Nail Knot in under 30 seconds - it's AWESOME!"

Earned a place on my vest,
September 12, 2012
By: Bigger
from Reykjavik Iceland
"In the last couple of years I have worked hard at minimizing the bling I take with me fishing. Nothing is taken if it won’t be used. This knot tool has earned a coveted place attached to a zinger on the D in my left breast pocket. I use it to tie droppers faster and better than I do manually. I adjust leaders and create tapered leaders on the fly. There have even been instances where my fingers have been too cold to tie a fly that I have used this tool to tie on a new fly.
There is an excellent youtube file that shows how to use it.
