The Drennan Hook Tyer enables you to tie spade end hooks with ease, right down to a size 26 if required.
Simple to use instructions are included.
- Hold the hook tyer in your left hand with the metal clamp facing upwards.
- Place your hook, point upwards, into the tyer and press down on the metal clamp to lock the hook into place.
- Pass your line around the clamp.
- Ensure that the line is held tight at all times and rotate the tyer away from you ensuring your line lays directly underneath the spade of the hook.
- After one full rotation, alter the angle of the line coming off the spade so as to begin whipping down the hook shank.
- Remember to keep the line tight at all times.
- After between ten and fourteen turns wrap the loose end of the hook length around the back of the brass peg located on the nose of the tyer.
- At this point, a bit of saliva will help lubricate your line.
- Depress the clamp fully and pull gently on your hook length until the largest loop is pulled tight.
- Unlock the clamp and pull the hook length again until your hook and line becomes free.
- Trim the loose ends to finish.
