Allllaaann Phfiissshhh, I'll have you know that I tied a #32 Mustad Royal Coachman in front of 300+ folks at a show in Denver- Overhead projected. So there. Thbbbbbbbt !!! :oP
TTYTT, I don't see them as well as I used to. The old peepers are getting out of focus a wee bit. I can just barely tell if the barb is shaped correctly now. I used to be able to see if the point was sharp.
