New tying gadgets

Post by letumgo » Sun Nov 05, 2023 9:54 am

I recently bought a couple new tools (toys), and I'm looking forward to playing around with them.

The first tool is a dubbing loop spinner by Stonefo tools. I've had this on my wishlist for a while, and finally bought one. I have really enjoyed tying with other Stonfo tools. This dubbing loop twister feels really well made. I like the proportions (length of handle and spring steel arms). Should make it easy to wrap the loop after twisting materials together.

The second tool is a "Material Guard" made by SMHAEN. Dakota Angler recently started selling this tool, and I could not wait until Christmas to get one. :D

FULLY CLOSED TOOL (notice the small gap between the closed loops - this gap allows the tools to be moved past the tying thread and/or hook shank)

Wow Ray! Really cool stuff! I especially like the dubbing loop spinner! It looks really well made and finished!
You know you need to do a couple of tutorial/SBS"s on these gadgets!
I hope Santa gets you everything on your list this Christmas!
