TRACEMATE - A SUPER MACHINE TO KNOT
Roberto Ferrario

Heavy mono over 150 lb or so is just about impossible to knot. You need to crimp 200lb mono, and that takes time. The introduction of TraceMate changes all that. This new kind of products was created by Dawson-Shanahan Ltd. This little tool is easy to use and can knot mono up to 400lb easily. I say 400 lb because it's the heaviest. It has been tested by the TraceMate production team for the past 4 years using 250 lb mono for big game traces and they've got it dead right.

Study the explanatory photos supplied on the information sheet and you'll instantly see how easy it is to tie. After a few knots it's so simple you'll be kicking yourself for thinking of the TraceMate yourself.The TraceMate is made from aluminium with a red anodised protective coating for durability. There is also a lanyard hole drilled in to the base of the tool for security. It is cylindrical in shape with flutes in, but tapers to a point with the line and hook channel running through the middle. It fits comfortably in the hand, and is lightweight.
