With the close season being here ive just started restocking my spade end hooks to nylon.
I currently use the Drennan hook tyer (if on the bank) or a Matchman tyer on a adjustable measuring rail (bench mounted) when at home. All of which do the job but I could remember buying a Shakespeare electronic tyer when I was a boy and a quick search on ebay found a design that looked very similar in all but colour (I remember the Shakespeare one being bright orange)
The funny thing is that I cant ever remember using this tyer so I am in the dark as to if the end result was good or bad but I can recall paying £13.99 from Bennets mail order when I was around 12! It was a lot back then!
Those on ebay range from £6 -£10 for what appears to be the same model - just wondering if anyone has any experience of these?
