Bryan Wright 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2011 Anyone ever tie on a paper clip? My daughter asked me to so she could have a paper clip with a deer hair bug on it. I did it and it came out pretty good. I had a bit of a hard time bending it back into the proper paper clip shape but it turned out pretty good. I will take a pic of it and post it tonight when I get home. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gpd4 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2011 I let my 5yo tie on paper clips - less bleeding fingers that way. Kind of a bummer when he wants to actually fish the pattern, though... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sandflyx 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2011 when i was in for heart surgery 10 years ago, i tied shrimp and sand eels on paper clips with stent tubing for all the nurses and doctors. I had to wait 3 weeks in there before they could open me up. Had a tying set up and parties with the other heart patients every night. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
