Hi all,

Looking at getting one of these to save time on filling me hook length boxes.
Just after anyone's feedback on these.

Are they easy enough to use?
Is there better ones out there?

Thanks in advance

Hey dude, i have had one of these for about a year now and it's the dogs bo@=#cks. It took me a little while to understand how to use it ( all the instructions are in Italian) but once i cracked it i have never looked back. All the lengths are exact and well tied and they fit in the preston hook length boxes a treat.

Had one a couple of years and like Tattersall says their the biz's . I found you need to put your hook in the same way every time so the line comes off the front of the spade and the line cutters gone blunt so i just cut it off with scissors , this also stops you from pulling it to tight . Did hear that RIVE do a good one as well

I'll have to say that i'm not sure about mine, I followed all instructions (english/french/italian/chinese !) but cant get my hooklengths perfect everytime when using 06 - 07 - 08 line 24/26 hooks. I tend to get line kinking above the hook, maybe im doing something wrong.
Thicker lines and bigger hooks are perfect everytime, so in that respect you cant beat it.

You might be holding the line to tight as you whip up the shank , i had this problem to start with and i only whip 6-7 turns on .6 , .7
