Following on from the previous two posts I use a similar method of tying. I don't trust the knotless knot not slip without a hair so I do two knotless knots - it works well. I use the gp106 hooks which are barbed. Yes, the hooks hang at a slight angle but this actually aids hooking. In comparison the much used Domhoff knot for spade ends is much, much weaker.

I've given quite a lot of my reject tackle to the lad next door. I can see me teaching him to finger tie so he can do my hooks, for a small fee.

Guilty as charged. I’ve tried, not very hard admittedly, but even with a hook tyer I fail. Like marrying Nigella it was not meant to be.

I can't see her without being reminded of her dad, but you might like this, Mike

And Notskev, you could spare a thought for those of us with heart problems. You nearly undid £100,000 worth of surgery there mate. The NHS is cannot afford that. Still, at least she has no sharp bits:)

I thought I could end the “frivolous” nature of this serious thread by alerting the coffee aficionados that their raven haired dream drinks chain coffee.:eek:mg:
