Might have to accept traces being twisted, not crimped soon. I can barely see to thread 20lb 7 strand through the crimp now. I cant miss the size 4 trebles though. I remember us using 10's and fretting about the slightest resistance.

Twisting all the way for me.
ReplyDeleteYup, probably be me too once these are all used up. I used to use forceps to twist the tag but have an old ET twizzle stick somewhere still Still trying to find where I put my long baiting needle we used to use for pva stringers and eel baits.
DeleteA "twiddling stick" for me every time BB. My biggest issue, therefore, is not threading wire through a crimp but, instead, attempting to get a boily stop through the loop of a hair rigged bait! Old age - they certainly never taught me about this at school.
ReplyDeleteIt's the eyes that get old first Dylan, glasses or not... . I use smaller boilies etc mostly and a bayonet push stop, though tiny can usually be done by feel.
DeleteI seem to have gone back to crimping after years of twisting. Not sure why. I remember using little trebles as small as #12, seemed to work alright. There again I can remember big singles and Alasticum wire.
