Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted March 14 A very noticeable improvement in your tying. See how easy this is. Just think how much better you will be in another week, and another week. I have a lighted desk magnifier that I’m probably going to chuck since I tried it and found a don’t like it. I found it at the curb and it will go back to the curb. As others pointed out to me, it just gets in the way. I prefer a ball cap with the clip on hat magnifiers that we mostly all have for when we are fishing. Keep at it, your flies are progressing nicely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
john1962 0 Report post Posted March 14 Lol, if you can't see anything it ain't easy. The light and magnifier is big and bulky but swings and pivots and best of all don't get in the way. Bought at HF. For fishing I have clip on also. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
