Micro Fishing Tippet Connectors

Micro fishing tippet connectors allow you to quickly and easily attach a snelled tanago hook to your main line.

The connector has an eye to tie it to your main line. The other end of the connector is essentially a hook with no gape. There are two ways to attach a snelled tanago hook to the Tippet Connector.

The simple way: If you are using a tanago hook that comes with a loop in the end of the snell, such as the Gamakatsu Ultimate or Owner Migen, just slide the loop into the "hook" part of the tippet Connector.

The complex way: You slide the red snell (assuming an Owner snelled tanago hook) into the hook portion of the tippet connector, wrap it around once or twice and slide it in again. It won't slip.

However, if you have snelled the hook yourself with fly fishing tippet material, this procedure will not hold. Tippet material is harder and slicker than the red material that comes with the snelled Owner hooks. If you snell the tanago hooks yourself, tie a loop in the end of the snell and use the simple way.

“The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten” - Benjamin Franklin

"Be sure in casting, that your fly fall first into the water, for if the line fall first, it scares or frightens the fish..." -
Col. Robert Venables 1662

As age slows my pace, I will become more like the heron.

We've all had situations where seriously chewed up flies kept catching fish after fish after fish. It is no sin to tie flies that come off the vise looking seriously chewed up.

Warning:

The hooks are sharp.
The coffee's hot.
The fish are slippery when wet.

Beware of the Dogma

All the hooks sold on TenkaraBum.com, whether packaged as loose hooks or incorporated into flies, are sharp - or as Daiichi says on their hook packages, Dangerously Sharp. Some have barbs, which make removal from skin, eyes or clothing difficult. Wear eye protection. Wear a broad-brimmed hat. If you fish with or around children, bend down all hook barbs and make sure the children wear eye protection and broad-brimmed hats. Be aware of your back cast so no one gets hooked.

Also, all the rods sold on TenkaraBum.com will conduct electricity. Do not, under any circumstances, fish during a thunder storm. Consider any fishing rod to be a lightning rod! Fishing rods can and do get hit by lightning!
