Yeah....my hands are not made for delicate work to be sure. Not having fun doing this....maybe stick to making the plugs...just tired of paying so much for pre-tied hooks! |

Get a Bobbin....I have some sausage fingers myself but that makes it pretty easy. After I tie'em I put couple of coats of Hard as Nails on it. I'll put a drop of epoxy on them when I'm sealing a plug to make it more durable.
Sorry RE I didn't mean to mess up your Ho-ing.  |
