Here's a review
Tauten Fishing Line Welder Independent Review [Strength Test vs. Fishing Knots] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wENEtMzRKM0#)
I'll keep on using the trusty Uni-knot and the aussie plait, thank you very much :crzy

...fish like a man :hyst: :hyst:
-
not going to work for leader to tippet when trout fishing......
Americans always think that they need some kind of complicated and expensive thing to do simple things....like tying a decent knot
-
Bulky, expensive, complicated (technologically) and not as effective as tying a knot... Pass.
... Also, to be pedantic, not actually a "welder" since welding is the fusion of the base materials to one another... More of a gluer :clwn
-
Whew... I so enjoy tieing knots, so I'm relieved that I don't have to buy this gimmick!
-
Actually, that's something I wanted to say as well... Knots are so much part of fishing. I love practicing knots at my kitchen table before a big trip. I'd feel like such a cop-out with this machine.

:turd . Soon to be on sale at Verimark no doubt...
Agree Marty, this is just a hot melt glue gun.
I reckon the welds would melt up at Makuya Park when temps exceed the mid 40's

I think the drop test they did would suit the weld as it would have a bit of give compared to a knot, but in real life the continued pressure of a fish or even a strike would be more like the Salt strong test. Celebs come cheap now days

Ag no man.
What's more satisfying than tying a great knot? Part if fishing it is
-
Fish like a real man, tie your own knots😃 :SBOKS:

Only in America duh, next they be seling stuff that actually casts, impart action, set the hook, reel the fish in and actually lands and weighs it al in one go, so "No more boring fishing chores, just relaxation and good fun for the Whole family!"

You left out the fact that this can all happen while sitting in your slippers on your sofa at home and using a computer and the internet

maybe it will do well in targeting that group of new comers to the sport, those that find it finger twisting and hand coordenation tricky or the likes of Kardashians. if that is so, :bow: to the inventor
