Travel dive gear hanger?

FISH11 08-27-2015 05:07 PM

Looks like a tool to store a sabiki when not rigged up on the pole. Then again it could be one of Mahigeer's sex toys!

jorluivil 08-27-2015 05:14 PM

Is this one of the tools used in a circle jerk?

Mahigeer 08-27-2015 09:14 PM

You guys are too funny.

I will have the answer tomorrow.


Stay tuned to this website.

It is called –Knot Assist 2.0

After losing a good fish during my recent ¾ day trip, I checked out to see what could be a better knot for tying braid to mono. The easily broken knot was either an Albright, or a double uni to uni. I had tied different knots for different rods, so I cannot tell which one it was.

Anyhow, a knot called “FG” seems to have the good rating. However it is a bit complicated knot requiring tension while tying the knot and maybe three hands. Holding with tooth will do too, but I rather not use my teeth. This tool makes it much easier, though it came from Japan and the cost including shipping was $50.00

Here are links to see the tool in action.
In Japanese with English subtitle.

In English. I don’t think it is as good.

Here is the same knot without any tool.

I would not use it for everyday fishing, but when you are after the biggies, I think it is a good idea.

Here is my second try in tying it. With practice I am sure I can do it better and faster.

Funnier than the comments is the fact that you actually bought that thing

FISH11 08-28-2015 06:00 AM

Does the term "A sucker born every minute" sound familiar.

octico 08-28-2015 06:32 AM

Oh no you didn't ...
 
First off I can't believe you bought this thing. Second part is that you paid $50.00, did you even shop around. Amazon has them for $35.00.

Just tie an RP knot, you will be fine. Sell that thing on ebay.

Mahigeer 08-28-2015 07:07 AM

I did shop around. $39.99 plus $10.00 for shipping for this one. The ones which cost less, had higher shipping cost. One was $18.95 for shipping.

A meal for two at any mid to decent restaurant costs more. Several hrs. later it is defecated.



Like I said before,
“Those of you, who know me by now, know that I have a weakness for gadgets”.

I must say, I like it.


Next is putting to the test.

I agree tie the RP knot aka: John Collins, Alberto

Mahigeer 08-28-2015 08:31 AM

I did and the flou. line slipped when it was done.

Perhaps I did not do it right, I tied it ever so carefully.

Mahigeer, I think it's cool you found a gadget you like. Don't worry about the price (or the comments LOL), if you use it, and you like it, then good for you. I also LOVE gadgets and can appreciate the thought into making this thing. I use that knot myself, use my mouth and everything to tie it. Your gadget is inspiring me to come up with a diy gadget now, haha.

HobieScot 08-28-2015 10:16 AM

What is it.
 
Wow

Not that's a complicated procedure to tie a knot.

I used to tie a Bimini twist to join my lines. I hated that knot. It was a pain in my ass to tie!

Then I found a uni to uni and if you tie it correctly it works great.

I've only had it fail once which was this year when I hooked a YT that took me into a passing boats prop. It wouldn't have mattered what knot I used since there is no stopping a speeding 35 foot boat no matter how I tied that knot. Plus it was a ten year old knot to begin with

But other than that one time the uni to uni has been flawless for me so far "knock on wood"

I also use a little knot glue that I found at bass pro shops to cover the uni to uni and it helps give is strength and smooths it out so it passes thru the guides without the mono/flouro tag end going click click click on each cast

All the comments are in good fun. I am cool with it.

I have seen a home made one on YouTue.

Being a tinkerer myself I appreciate the work and thought that goes in making a gadget. There lies my weakness. I like to reward the effort.




I did use a super glue from harbor freight, which may have been different formula and perhaps that was the culprit.

I will get the Bass Pro glue just incase.

HobieScot 08-28-2015 01:27 PM

The BP brand works pretty good. It takes awhile to dry so I usually roll the double uni between my fingers while the glue is still tacky and it will create a bubble over both knots and make the flouro tag end lay down flat so it doesn't hit the guides

I'll try to remember to take a picture of the bottle when I get home. It is like the old bottles of liquid paper with a brush so you can brush it on the knot. I've had that same bottle for 15 years. I don't know how it hasn't dried up by now. But it still works like new

I know what you are talking about now. I use it when I am tying flies.


It is called a head cement I think. I got some from Sport chalet and it is called; "hard head". Made by Loon outdoors.


I should have used that.
Next time.

It's actually called "fishin glue"

It says it's waterproof, scent less, and dries in 4 seconds or less (which it doesn't) more like 60 seconds or more

But it still works
