Nail Knot Tool
A nail knot in less than 10 seconds. Double nail knots in 25 seconds. Thanks to McScruff (David H.), I got myself 4. Two will be with me at all time. Two will be in my tool boxes. Will be purchasing a few more for my father-in-laws.
Tests:
Using fishing digital scale (Berkley).
Mono fishing line from Spider, Berkley, and Mr. Crappie (thanks Carl!), 8lbs, 6lbs, and 4lbs respectively.
3 control lines (no knot) and 3 knotted lines for break test comparison. All snapped between 0.8 to 1.2lb above the tested poundage.
@ 4#, control breaks at 4.9lbs max.
@ 4#, single nail knot, slips at 3lbs max.
@ 4#, double nail knots snapped at 4.8lbs max.
@ 6#, control breaks at 7.1lbs max.
@ 6#, single nail knot, slips at 6lbs max.
@ 6#, double nail knots snapped at 7lbs max.
@ 8#, control breaks at 9lbs max.
@ 8#, single nail knot, slips at 7.2lbs max.
@ 8#, double nail knots snapped at 9.2lbs (fluke?) max.
Also able to tie 8 different other knots beside nail:
Clinch and improved clinch.
Albright
Snell (made ultra easy)
Blood
Uni
Multi type of loop knots with flies/hooks in place. Large hook I have to use with is a 8/0. No problem.
Overall, happy camper for an eBay $4 tool. It even have an eyelet cleaner. Not sure what's the end (near the ring) is use for yet.

After testing the spools, they're pretty darn good. Just a note Carl, the one from the larger 2000yd spools are a lot stronger than just the 500yd spools. Not sure why that is. More UV and oxidation protection from a tighter grouping of line?
I'll be playing with memory effect pretty soon..when I get enough time away from all the craziness in this household.
