Re: [VFB] Was MurphClave; now magnifiers

[Joseph Fusco, Sr.]

Jerry -

 

I just had cataract surgery and I have no close vision, although my distance vision is near perfect.  I use 2.5x reading glasses for general close work, and that seems to also work on stream, but for tying I have a pair of 4x readers for general work and I have an on bench magnifier for really close/small work.

I know them geezers!  I gave up on the FF@ (where I "met" Byard and many of you) for a few years, went back to the same old and left for good maybe a year ago.  Much better content here but some nice folks back there

 

Murf,

 

Forgot that you and Byard were also Ff'ers.  Me, I'm BI-Listual.

 

I do have a serious question for the group.  My absolute limit visually with glasses is 5x going into a #12

hook.  But there are obviously times when the trout demand a #18 "falderal" or a bi winged parachute bicuspid

size 22, tied on 6 or 7x tippet.  How is it possible to tie with something that small . 

 

I have progressive trifocals as it is and when I am at the bench, I need the mag glass when I am tying

12 or 14's.   What type of optical magnifier do others use on the water in addition to your regular glasses?.
