Hey Mike those little vice grip plyers are great .. you can lock on .. You should change your angle of attack though and not pull towards your face .. Wife must bust em on you for that ,, mine would ..

well Fred, it won't be long with arthritis creeping up, so someday I'll be using pliers too, along with a hearing aid to go with my glasses.

Nope...Thats why I don't punch myself in the face either. I just grab it and wrap it around a pair of Round nose pliers

Just got a good tail loop tutorial done by #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&...man did I have it all wrong, but the end result was still good.

Take a closer look at the pictures...you may notice there's one plug in there not made by me...see if you can pick it out.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

Big pink Hawg hunter style pencil looks fished and uncopied.

You shouldn't, however, be practicing your signature on the wall before you sign your work.

I do it similarly to salty, minor variations that work for me with what I have.
