January/February 2008 Ballooning: "What I need is a knot cheat sheet. Why can't someone come up with a handy, easy to carry, quick reference guide to knots? What? Someone did? PRO-KNOT cards are the brainchild of John Sherry. Six waterproof, plastic, credit card sized guides to 14 of the most popular rope knots. The entire set weighs less than 1-ounce. You can carry them in your shirt pocket, your wallet, in a flight bag or in the glove box of the chase truck."

Featured in March 2002 North American Fisherman: “The Fisherman’s Ultimate Knot Guide is a handy tool to carry in your tackle box. The cards show the basic knots that you need and the ruler comes in handy for checking fish length. The Ultimate Knot Guide’s durable materials and design, coupled with easy-to-read instructions make it simple to store and use. Illustrations are clear and concise.”

Featured in June 2001 geo plein air  OK, we don’t understand a word of it as it is a French language magazine, but we assume they said good things about “le cartes PRO-KNOT”!

Featured in September 2000, Backpacker Magazine:
“Knot Cheat Sheets” “The rabbit comes out of the hole, goes around the tree, and crawls back into his hole.” That is the traditional mnemonic for tying the bowline. But if you can barely remember how to tie your shoes, let alone where some imaginary rabbit is supposed to go, you need a knot cheat sheet. Pro-Knot summarizes 12 basic outdoor knots on six plastic cards that weigh less than an ounce for the set. The company also offers two sets of fishing line knot cards...”

Featured in June 1999, Outside Magazine: “Remembering how to tie a bowline versus, say, a mooring hitch can tangle more than just the mind. So, for the sailor, fisherman, climber, or backpacker who’s rusty on such matters, there’s now a handy set of shirt-pocket -sized cards that illustrate how to rig all the most common knots. The Pro-Knot Fan Pack features 12 essential outdoor ties, from the sheet bend (a nautical twist used for binding two lines together) and the trucker’s hitch (for lashing a canoe to the car roof) to the familiar yet often pesky square knot....Waterproof and durable, these plastic cheat sheets are riveted together in one corner so they can be fanned out for easy reference, no matter what your bind.”

Featured in June/July 1999, Outdoor Life Magazine, “The fish are rising but you're trying to attach leader to line, thinking, "With the nail knot the line goes..." Next time, pull out The Fisherman’s Ultimate Knot Guide. It illustrates 10 knots you must know.”

Featured in October 1996 Canoe & Kayak  “The PRO-KNOT Paddling Knot Cards are made of solid plastic and clearly illustrate how to tie 12 essential knots. The plastic handy-sized cards can be taken out into the elements...”
