At 31 years of age I'm certainly younger than some of the shuffle-set that frequent these boards so maybe I am a bit quicker in my hook-tying times, but at the same time the relatively smaller hands of a young female would likely be able to tie those hooks faster than I can.

When I sit down to tie hooks I know for a fact that as I get a rhythm down my speed increases without a loss of quality.

Now that you mention it, I haven't seen my 13-year old daughter in awhile....oh wait. They weren't able to prove it was mine, so neveryoumind.
