Overview
A HOOK-EZE nail knot tying tool combo that includes a waterproof pocket guide, built to tie nail knots such as those used to connect fly line to leader.
HOOK-EZE is known broadly as a knot tying aid, and this listing is the nail knot specific version aimed at connecting line sections cleanly, a task anglers often fumble with cold or wet hands. The included pocket guide is meant to walk through the knot steps streamside rather than relying on memory.
