What is it. - Page 2 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I did shop around. $39.99 plus $10.00 for shipping for this one. The ones which cost less, had higher shipping cost. One was $18.95 for shipping.

A meal for two at any mid to decent restaurant costs more. Several hrs. later it is defecated.

Like I said before,
“Those of you, who know me by now, know that I have a weakness for gadgets”.

I must say, I like it.

Next is putting to the test.

Mahigeer, I think it's cool you found a gadget you like. Don't worry about the price (or the comments LOL), if you use it, and you like it, then good for you. I also LOVE gadgets and can appreciate the thought into making this thing. I use that knot myself, use my mouth and everything to tie it. Your gadget is inspiring me to come up with a diy gadget now, haha.

All the comments are in good fun. I am cool with it.

I have seen a home made one on YouTue.

Being a tinkerer myself I appreciate the work and thought that goes in making a gadget. There lies my weakness. I like to reward the effort.

I did use a super glue from harbor freight, which may have been different formula and perhaps that was the culprit.

I will get the Bass Pro glue just incase.

Wow

Not that's a complicated procedure to tie a knot.

I used to tie a Bimini twist to join my lines. I hated that knot. It was a pain in my ass to tie!

Then I found a uni to uni and if you tie it correctly it works great.

I've only had it fail once which was this year when I hooked a YT that took me into a passing boats prop. It wouldn't have mattered what knot I used since there is no stopping a speeding 35 foot boat no matter how I tied that knot. Plus it was a ten year old knot to begin with

But other than that one time the uni to uni has been flawless for me so far "knock on wood"

I also use a little knot glue that I found at bass pro shops to cover the uni to uni and it helps give is strength and smooths it out so it passes thru the guides without the mono/flouro tag end going click click click on each cast

The BP brand works pretty good. It takes awhile to dry so I usually roll the double uni between my fingers while the glue is still tacky and it will create a bubble over both knots and make the flouro tag end lay down flat so it doesn't hit the guides

I'll try to remember to take a picture of the bottle when I get home. It is like the old bottles of liquid paper with a brush so you can brush it on the knot. I've had that same bottle for 15 years. I don't know how it hasn't dried up by now. But it still works like new

I know what you are talking about now. I use it when I am tying flies.

It is called a head cement I think. I got some from Sport chalet and it is called; "hard head". Made by Loon outdoors.

I should have used that.
Next time.

It's actually called "fishin glue"

It says it's waterproof, scent less, and dries in 4 seconds or less (which it doesn't) more like 60 seconds or more

But it still works
