Useful little Gismo

[Paul Dunstan]

I know I've just had another birthday but I'm convinced that hook eyes are getting smaller - particularly at night!

Here's a little item I picked up on Ebay from the States - Nipper, Eye Cleaner and Threader complete with a handy red light that shines through the niper blades.

Also, I'm happy to recommend Corsnguy (Ed Landis) as an Ebay seller - he's a great bloke - check out the cost of C&F Fly Boxes!

It's actually quite good, but with one major design fault.
The light is actuated by turning the VERY loose fitting screw at the rear-the same screw to which the lanyard is attached!

It is all too easy to undo and would then drop off.

If you buy one, drill two small opposing holes in the plastic, make a shackle from some suitable wire, fix in place with pliers and attach a mobile 'phone strap to that.

I have attached mine to my coat top pocket,-quick and easy to use with no chance of it falling off somewhere !



It's in the Sportfish catalogue, £15.99

Great tip Watermole!

Don't you just love the $ exchange rate! States = $15.89 UK = £15.99!
