I started out tying direct. I'll go to my grave tying direct.

Joe, I wear 3.5 reading glasses on a lanyard around my neck. Improved clinch knot and I'm done. |

That is me. I more often than not tie direct, but there are enough times where I am swapping out multiple times, in the dark, over a short period. Before too long, if I don't have a clip, the leader gets too short and I need to tie two knots. |
No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.
