For all you light gear fisherman especially the Level Wind brigade.
Fly fishing leader wind knots. I was put on to this item that is sold at Chemist shops for splinter removal. Evidently the shearers best friend. I have used it to deal with wind knots and it works brilliantly, would work wonders on over runs with braid. In addition to the straight sharp pointy needle is the slightly bent at right angles thin stiff point. Small than a biro thicker in the stem to work wonders. Refer pictures Regards John |

Yep John they are invaluable for those knots, many years ago I was given an old crochet hook (very fine) by my late mum, works a treat .

I'm a first aider at work, and people only come to me once with a splinter using those things. Never thought about using them to pick out knots though

Be cheaper to go to Priceline at Bribie Island AND you wouldn't have to take at packed lunch. (Just drop in at Hypnos and raid his fridge).
