4. How did The Knot Kneedle®️ concept begin?

Answer: I was tired of having the tippet slip through my fingers while learning how to tie knots to the flies and tippet rings. I would get the knot almost tied, then lose my grip and have to cut the tippet and start over. Very frustrating. Also, many times I would have the clinch knot almost completed on the bend of the hook of the lead fly in a dry/dropper rig or Rocky Mountain Nymph rig and the hook would find itself free of the clinch knot loop! I needed a “needle” to hold the tippet and allow me to “sew” my knots. It has cut my knot tying time in half with knots being tied correctly the first time, every time!

 

5. What is the difference between The Knot Kneedle®️ Lite and The Knot Kneedle®️?

Answer: The Knot Kneedle®️ Lite is made of aluminum and therefore is lighter in mass and The Knot Kneedle®️ is brass. The Knot Kneedle®️ is now new and improved as it has a slot in the brass rod that is 2mm wide x 6mm long to put the tippet or line through. The Knot Kneedle®️ Lite cannot assist in tying the nail knot. If you need to be able to tie the nail knot do not buy The Knot Kneedle®️ Lite!

 

6. What sized line or tippet can The Knot Kneedle®️ effectively tie knots with?

Answer: The Knot Kneedle®️ is ideal for 30 lb test or finer tippet. It works very well with 65 lb braided line. If you are trying to tie knots with thicker, heavier mono, which is very stiff, the device doesn’t have enough weight to pull the line through the loops, but many customers like to use the device for the heavy mono. The new and improved Knot Kneedle®️ can now easily grip up to 50-lb monofilament line.
