Tie-Fast Knot Tool

- The nail knot is a fishing standard. It can be used to connect to very distinct diameter lines with great efficiency. Many people have a difficult tying this knot but thanks to the Tie-Fast Knot tool tying quality nail knots is easy. You can even tie a modified blood knot and use a nail knot to connect your fly to your tippet.
This is a heck of a tool. I learned several good tips from this video!
This is the finest fly fishing knot video I have ever seen. So often we are forced to extrapolate from looking AT the demonstrator rather than over his shoulder. The video is absolutely clear, the teacher is articulate, goes carefully step by step, and shows how easy this fantastic tool is to use. Many thanks and Bravo!
Bravo!
Great Tool!
I bought this tie-fast with a bunch of knickknacks at an estate sale and had no idea what it was. Even though I'm an avid fisherman and I've lived in Alaska for 40 years. I agree with the other comments this might be the best naat video I've ever seen so pat yourself on the back because you did an awesome job on this video! Manic Beast Boise
I bought the Combo tool. Used it today to make 2 tapered leaders. Used it yesterday to spool my new reel with backing and fly line -- what a perfect way to do this operation! Making the leaders-- splicing 6 different weights of maxima was easy as could be-- though the 30 and 20 weight chameleon was just a tad more difficult to handle than the ultragreen. Just getting back into fly fishing, for the first time using my own gear :-)

This is the most useful tool you can have in your tackle box, especially good if you have trouble working with light leaders.
I have had this tool for maybe 10 years and never used it.After the video i tried it and it was the easiest knot i have ever tied.that being the nail knot
Me too, BIM. I actually bought my Tie-Fast tool from the inventor himself, at his shop in Chico California. Carried on my vest for over 10 years but never used it once. Then I watched this video, decided to try it, and it was sooo easy. My knot was perfect, the first time. Wow.
you make is look so easy but if it is your first time it is not so easy
I have been trying to find something that will help me tie fishing knots with my shaky hands. This one seems to be the best one yet and I have had it in my tackle box for a long time. Now I am a happy fisherman again.
I have this tool and if you are watching this video and do not own one I highly suggest this tool. It makes tying anything a breeze and if you are far sighted as I am and have a hard time seeing line and so forth this is a MUST have device. I love it!
Nippers will get dull quickly,mine lasted about 2 months,then would barely cut 5x tippet without some serious pressure,I went back to the WAPSI nipper with SLIDING needle,much better product,stays sharp for years.
The only thing that I might add is to wet the line and knots before tightening them. Great tool!
just got one at a yard sale for a quarter
Shipped from the states to the UK.....neat and very accurate tool. If I had to criticise it At all...the standard tool has two little prongs that stick out at the back of the tool that have left the palm of my hand sore. Maybe because I have been practicing all afternoon with it and Not had One failure ! Seriously tho it's brilliant and makes doing a knot a piece of cake. Now all I have to do is not forget to take it with me.
Awesome clear and precise. Got one of these things and now I wonder how I lived with out it
Excellent vid, thank you!
A must buy tool.
Jerking that knot off of the tool while you have a treble hook in your hand is STUPID. Who's idea is that?
When you are mid float and have to re rig, being able to tie quickly is pretty cool. Nothing pisses me off more on a float that going past trout while I’m tying shit on my line
I have never heard of a nail knot splice. I always tied blood knots. This video claims the nail knot splice is much stronger than the blood knot. Can anyone confirm if this claim is true?
This is a wonderful tool! I've had mine for years and, as my eyesight has increasingly become a challenge, the Tie-Fast has become more indispensable!
great tool for making Bobber stops!!!
I was trying to tie a blood knot with a pen and it took me half an hour but the knot undid it self as soon as i got the knot tying tool it only took a couple seconds and wow. The knot is very strong.
This is the slickest damn thing ive seen in fishing tools.
How do you use tool to tie a loose knot to bait for more action..????
SEEMS POSSIBLE WITH GLOVES WHICH ON MICHIGAN TROUT STREAMS IN FEB... I STRUGGLE WITH TYING KNOTS..
I sold lots of these working at Fishin' Hole putting line and backing on customers reels.
I demonstrated the tool which I carried on my keychain, and tied the knot in seconds for them. It's a great tool, makes tying the nail knot a breeze.
Con esta herramienta e incluso logrado armar aparejos tomando lo básico de las demostraciones; tiene múltiples aplicaciones!!!👌
I bought one of these years ago, but I haven't been on the water in a few years and I thought now might be a good time to refresh my memory.
Do not attempt this on the water!
It's a rainy day, in a well lit kitchen, taking my time.
I just made a tapered sinking leader, with 3 different weights, and tied on a stonefly because, why not.
It really helps because it's the same knot, pretty much.
Only thing I'll say is that for a natural, free drifting dry fly, I'd stick with this other knot that has a loose loop that does not hold the fly too strongly in one aspect.
Of course, I can't really remember that not!
Oh man!
Hi. Is this knot, and tool, suitable for braided lines?
yes it is as i have used it
Thank you for telling me how to tie the rope, I am very satisfied ❤️️
Is it not difficult with small hooks, eg. Size 14.
I got this tool today after seeing a person use it. It is INDISPENSABLE; not only for fly fishermen, but anyone who fishes. When my fingers get cold, it WAS nearly impossible for me to tie any kind of knots. This not only helps me tied them, when dexterity is compromised, it helps me to get BEAUTIFUL and strong knots.
What a great tool for creating very versatile knots. I like my knots to have two wraps in the eyelet so I start by putting the tag end through the eye twice then follow the rest of the instructions. What a great, super strong knot....... and so easy to tie!
Me too. I wasn't sure if I was fhe only one who did it that way.
How does this knot hold up to braided fishing line?
Excellent demonstration. It works well. Thank you.
I just spent about an hour trying to tie a blood not. I must have tried to tie that knot six or eight times, and still never got it. I got a reasonable facsimile, but not a blood knot. I bought this Tie-Knot tool at least twenty years or more ago, and never used it. (forgot how) After spotting this at the bottom of my tackle box, I got on this site and watched the video. The very first time I tried to tie a blood not....eureka.... a "nice" looking blood knot and "no" exasperation on my part.
Way better than using a surgeon's knot to attach my tippet. That's always a pain in the field. And I can't count how many flies I've lost because the clinch knot came undone.
Hello I have one of these tools but when I pull on the knot, it slips off. What am I doing wrong. Does it only work with certain lines? I am using braid and Fluor carbon leader, tied the two using the 3 wrap process shown which all pulled up well but when I applied pressure it simply slipped apart.
Absolutely brilliant, I will use this to tie chod rigs for carp fishing in England.
Is it still necessary to lubricate the knots before tightening? Especially with smaller sized tippet or tying tippet to the fly?
yup
What and how to tie a knot from braded to a leader such as fluorocarbon
is great.
i have both versions.
Simply amazing thing.
the best and understandable knotting vid i have seen thanks and well done
Thanks for the reply, Neil. I'm not a fly fisherman but use fluorocarbon leaders with non looped braid for walleye and salmon fishing with casting and spinning gear. But, I think it should work for that, too. Thanks again!
Al
Mine has a pin in the middle of one end of the tool. What's that for?
I understand trying a knot to a plug or fishing worm but is there a way to tie a loop knot using the tie fast combo tool?
ilk denediğinizde işe yaramaz bir alet olduğunu düşünüyorsunuz ama biraz eliniz alışınca o kadar kolaylık sağlıyorki anlatamam harika bir ürün
Have been using this little wonder for over twenty years now and have never had a knot failure. My old one does not include the hook sharpener, so just ordered two more of the new ones. The old instructions that came with it did not include a couple of the knots you showed in your video, so thanks for the tips.
Could you use this tool to tie mono to braid...???
Thinus Rautenbach absolutely!! works great.
HI Alan, I'm glad you bought one. About your question, well I never used the tool for tying braid actually. Braided leaders have a loop right, so I just tie a perfection loop on the tippet and slip it through and over.Regardless it should work. I would slip the braided end through the loops of flourocarbon, if I was going to tie a nail knot. You can use the tool to tie a duncan loop knot to attach the fly to your leader. It's especially good on windy days.
Take care Neil
I use this all the time. Especially connecting braid to mono or braid to floro - back to back nail knots - one of the strongest knots out there, caught tarpon, red fish, wahoo, snook. Have to put more than 3 wraps - go 6 when your dealing with braid - just get the hang of it, it’s basic. I use the combo tool with the nail clippers to cut the mono or braid.
I bought this Tie fast Tool 10 years ago it's top quality very well made the knots and splices are 100% and really strong I'm in my late 40's and my eyes are not what they use to be same as my fingers there not as nimble as they once was,but this tool makes it so easy for me i can't recommend it enough so glad i bought it ,i never go fishing without it Absolutely fantastic piece of kit,
Never use that knot on a hook fly. all hook flys should hang loose in a loop for better movement and better fishing:) exept that its all good stuff
Excellent vid. Thank you.
What kind of line do you use when you use the nail knot tool because everytime we do it it comes apart. What two lines do you use to be able to use the nail knot tool easily
can you do blood knots?
frogfishing123 With this tool you don’t need to tie blood knots. Just saying...
Thanks for a great video. It on of the best videos I have ever seen explaining how to use the tie-fast tool.
Mine just slips right off after tying
Very useful tool and instructional video.
Fantastic video! Master Guide!!!!
Thank you.
you are buying the idea not the metal.
Very good.
A very clear and demostration of this tool.
very clear and straight to the point video. wouldn't expect anything less from the best fly shop in the Midwest.
Hi I just wanted to ask will the multi tool work just as good as the knot tool, for tying a regular hook or crank bait?
I have had one for a long time and did not know how well it works. Now I am a happy fisherman again.
I don't get it I am doing it exactly like you and the fly line keeps sliping out....
Thanks…now I'll make my own
If I tie a leader to my braid line will hold up to a 10 to 30lb salmon?
I’ma pick one up cuz I can’t tie a knot for shit!
Very practical
Cool, just ordered one from Aliexpress for less than $3.
must purchase
A much smaller version with some added features.
Had one for 40 years, and I want a million more.
Best video on this method. Thank you!!
Upon close examination of my single nail knots and nail knot splices, 8 out of 10 times the middle wraps overlap each other once transferred and tightened. Will this overlap cause a weaker knot? I've sat at my desk and tied this knot over and over. Still the same overlap happens.
Waste another of line
excellent tool
Is there a way to tie a loop knot for streamers?
"FAST". Sure!
That is so kool!
Where has this tool been all my life,
I battle severe rheumatoid arthritis and this tool has been a life saver for me! I've been using one since 2010. I was fortunate enough to find the instructional video early! Many thanks!
I caught a big Snook with that gryp knot!

Нашёл на помойке зонтик и сделал себе такую вещь. Спасибо за идею. Лайк +1

Great tutorial
Hey Neil, I just bought one of these. Can I use it for connecting fluorocarbon to braid? If so, which knot do I tie for it? Thanks, Al
Have you tried this with braid...??? Did it work...???
Do you have booklets for sale. I need 6. Thanks
Great video. I can't wait to get one of these tools and practice over the winter
It would be great if this was included in my multi tool
No u r not
Quicker doing it yourself,dont see the point of it
