I ventured into a fly shop this afternoon and bought myself a Tie Fast nail knot tool. I will NEVER go fishing again without it!!!! I was tying the nail knot in a just a few minutes. This makes life so much easier. Anyone else use one?

I suspect that almost everyone who ties nail knots uses that. They are really handy. Some nippers have a similar but smaller nail knot device also. I have several of them floating around but I use more loop connections nowadays.
