I have arthritis in my hands does any know of a device to help tie fishing line?

Answer 1

You want a fishing knot tool.

Here's one at LL Bean for $7

Also try looking at this one from Cabelas

And look at this one too

http://saltfishing.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=saltfishing&zu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.knottying.com%2F

All of the listed knot tying tools are less than 15 bucks. I've never used one but I think its cheap enough to try out. Hope it works for you!

Answer 3

an easy but good knot is done by doubling line back 6 inches,,put dbl end thru eye of hook,bring end over line making an over hand knot,put end loop over hook pull tight

Answer 4

There are a lot of knot-tying tools out there, but I am not sure which are better (or even usable) for someone with arthritis.

I am near needing one myself, I think.
