HOOK TYER

TYING LINE TO SPAD HOOKS

Slacken the Hook Tyer's clamp wheel until the jaws open and insert your hook. Tighten the wheel until the hook holds fast. There is no need to over tighten the wheel with the two line clips in the 'up' position, wrap the line around the clips as shown. Ensure line is tight between the tyer and rod and lay the loose end directly under the spade Rotate the tyer away from you for one full turn ensuring the loose line lays tight to the spade. Upon the next rotation, angle the looses line so that you begin whipping down the shank After between five and twelve turns, wrap the loose end of line around the back of the line clip nearest the hook. Depress the clips completely while trapping loose the loose line against the tyer. Unscrew the clamp wheel and pull gently on the line coming from the spade. Your hook and line will pull from the tyer, whilst tightening the knot. At this point it helps to add a bit of spit to the knot to help reduce friction. Once tight, trim the excess line
