Another good video Paul 👍I tie my method hooks similar to you, one trick I have found is to make a pegboard with nails with their heads cut off, space the nails on the board the same distance as the pegs are in your hook box. This makes it a hell of a lot less fiddly trying to tie the hooks, then transfer them into your hook box, if this makes sense 🤔
Well done paul! I do find that it's a good idea to mask the point of the hook with a small piece of cork which stops you impaling yourself and aids holding. 👍
My mate invented the loop tyer some 40 years ago we made the first ones out of a tooth brush for the handle and stainless welding wire for the prongs. A two pronged fork as it were. I still make my own today and can guarantee the smallest loops possible. I can make them in any size and use the really small size for hair rigging with a piece of spaghetti for a stop. I find the home made ones easier to use then the shop bought ones. Plus l can tie any size. I enjoyed your 2'' hook link vid and agree with your thoughts. If any angler hasn't got the hook box which stores 2" lengths then the Guru type sponge reels are a good alternative. The new mini wafters are also look a great little bait.
Great video Paul,I do it nearly the same as you did but for ring the loop I use a gate latch needle in the same way as Jon Arthur on one of he's videos,I just found them less fiddly than the loop tyer
5 STAR Video Paul Thanks for making it .

Well done Paul.. another great video
Great Paul.
Great idea using a 15cm hook length makes it so much easier. Thank you

Great vid Paul. I’ve got a few 2” hooklengths tied - very fiddly. I store them on a foam winder with pegs but think will move to your method. Cheers.

Great video Paul, Think if I tried tying 2 inch hook lengths it’d take me 400 takes
