Travel dive gear hanger?
|
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!
|
Is this one of the tools used in a circle jerk?
|
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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umVRR4v8SZc In English. I don’t think it is as good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8t4v7yyKSY0 Here is the same knot without any tool. http://www.netknots.com/fishing_knots/fg-knot/ 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. http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/q...i/DSCN4998.jpg Hope you liked the game. |

Funnier than the comments is the fact that you actually bought that thing |
Does the term "A sucker born every minute" sound familiar.
|
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. |
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 did and the flou. line slipped when it was done.
Perhaps I did not do it right, I tied it ever so carefully. |

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 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

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. |
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 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
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. |
What is it.

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 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalkhttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08...11a1070496.jpg |
Thanks for the picture.
