WSB Hook Tyer
The WSB Hook Tyer is a small hand tool that makes tying hooks quicker and easier. It is a real help with small hooks and fine lines, and on days when cold fingers, wind or fading light make tying knots by hand a struggle.
Neat, consistent knots are one of the most important parts of any rig, because a badly tied hook is the weakest point between you and the fish. A hook tyer helps you form the same reliable knot every time, so you can tie up hooklengths at home or on the bank with confidence.
Why use a hook tyer
Spade end and small eyed hooks can be fiddly to tie by hand, especially in sizes 16 and smaller with lines of a few pounds breaking strain. A hook tyer holds the hook and line steady while you form the knot, taking the guesswork out of the process. Many match and pleasure anglers use one routinely to tie batches of hooklengths before a session, so they can change hooks quickly when the fishing demands it.
Using it
Follow the instructions on the packaging for the tying sequence. Take your time with the first few, using inexpensive line to practise, and you will soon be tying hooks in seconds. Always moisten the knot before pulling it tight, then test each one with a firm, steady pull before use. Trim the tag end neatly, leaving a tiny stub so the knot cannot slip.

- Helps form neat, consistent knots
- Useful with small hooks and fine lines

Compatibility
Designed for typical coarse fishing hooks and hooklength lines. It is most useful with smaller hooks and finer lines; very large hooks and heavy lines are usually easier to tie by hand. Check the packaging for the range of hook sizes it suits.
Care and maintenance
Keep the hook tyer dry and free of grit and groundbait, and store it in your tackle box or seat box drawer where it will not be crushed. Wipe it clean if it gets dirty on the bank. Take care with hook points when using it, and put hooks safely away as soon as you have finished tying.
Who is it for?
For coarse and match anglers who tie their own hooklengths, for beginners learning their knots, and for anyone whose eyesight or fingers make tying small hooks difficult.
Please note: Hooks and line are not included.
