Title: Helpful tools
Post by: handymanjeff on January 04, 2014, 09:36:50 PM
Just a couple of tools that I find that I can't do without: I'm sure everyone has cut to far when filleting fish, especially panfish, at the tail and then trying to get a grip on the filet to remove the skin. I have and the best tool I've found is called the FILET CLAW. It allows you to grip the filet so you can finish skinning. I bought mine at an outdoor show a couple of years ago and won't clean panfish without it. It is now carried by Bass Pro.
2nd is my knot tying tool. This is awesome for threading and tying small ice jigs out on the water with cold hands and old fart eyes like mine. Available at.. www.knottying.com (http://www.knottying.com)...
Thought these may help young and old, new and experienced.
NOTE: I receive nothing from these products, I just use them and really depend on them. Maybe others will too.

Needle threaders! My grandma used to use those too, you can pick them up at any craft and sewing shop. They're really cheap and very effective.
