octopusshrimp 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2011 Hi all, I'm starting this topic because I keep stabbing myself while tying with my Eumer needles that dont have the ball on the end. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem before I bleed to death would be great. I also figured that there may be other problems that can be solved if we all put our heads together. Thanks and enjoy. Marc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not to bulky, it stays put, and most of all I dont have to worry about getting stuck like a Salmon River Steelhead after it sees one of my flies. Thanks.
