The humble loop tyer is a very basic bit of kit – to put it simply – it ties loops! While this is of course true, the loop tyer actually offers so much more than this.

Imagine yourself latched into a huge fish… now throw in the heavy flow of a bulging river, plus rakes of weed straddling your mainline. When your gear is under this kind of additional pressure, it is essential you have 100% trust in your loops and knots. A failure there is not an acceptable way to lose a fish, and you will never forgive yourself if that is what ultimately lets you down.

Tying a neat and trusted loop can give you additional confidence, so when you do have to pull that bit harder, you can rest assured that loop and knot won't let you down.

While there are many loop typers on the market, the vast majority are made of plastic, and more often than not in some hideous fluorescent shade. If this is not your cup of tea, there is an alternative…

Made from beautifully sanded and varnished iroko wood, complete with stainless steel dowels as loop pins, the Sean Simms Fishing Tackle Loop Tyer is the ‘classic’ option. For only £3.99, you get a handmade piece of tackle that looks great, is super strong, and most important of all – is reliable. With instructions included on the back of the packaging (which is 100% biodegradable), this loop tyer will give you peace of mind in every single one of your loops and knots.
