Quick take
A stainless steel nail knot tool that ties secure knots in seconds without a separate nail.
The TIE-FAST knot tyer is a one-piece stainless steel tool made for tying nail knots, the kind anglers use to join a fly line to a leader. It weighs next to nothing, has a non-reflective finish and works with any type of fishing line. It is a handy add-on for a tackle bag or vest, especially if hand-tying small knots frustrates you.
