  • Can't take the CD on the boat in most cases!

  • Learn in front of your PC as you follow the easy instructions
  • Clear concise instructions match the video portion so you can't make a mistake.

Guide Review - Tying Fishing Knots

Last year we reviewed the basic knot tying CD and the rope splicing CD from Beutner. Both are excellent. Now, finally, they have an instructional CD on fishing knots. The video demonstrations take you step by step through the knot tying process for 13 popular fishing knots. Large line - almost a small rope - is used in the demos, so the viewer can more readily see how the knots are tied.

This one is a winner for the beginning angler and the seasoned veteran alike. Most of us rely on one or two basic knots. This CD now lets us learn to utilize a variety of knots for a variety of fishing situations.

The CD never permanently loads to your computer memory (unless you want it to!) so you may take it with you wherever you go. It auto-starts as soon as you close the drive door, so there are no complicated instructions to follow.

This one is another winner from Beutner. Great job, guys!
