Selma fids

Post by markwesti »

I have tried a few different ways for splicing line , I use New England Sta-Set . Anyhow I bought the Selma fids , I thought they would be foolproof . Not so , I still make the same mistake where the core is not all the way through the eye . Well not all the time sometimes I get it right .
I bought mine here . https://duckworks.com/selma-stainless-steel-fids/
Here is a good video . https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ym1-rI0SdaA

Thanks for the links. I was just looking for a source the other day. I have a set of fids with the hooks on one end but sometimes want to use this type that the line lays inside.
