Quick take

A simple brass wire threader that slides a bobbin's thread through its tube quickly, eliminating hand-threading frustration.

This is a small gold-colored brass threader for fly tying, about 7 inches long and light enough to forget in a tool tray. You slide the wire through the bobbin tube, loop the thread through it and draw the thread back out. It saves fumbling with fine thread at the vise whenever you reload a bobbin.

Best for

  • Fly tiers who tie often and want to save time on each fly
  • Anyone tying with thin, delicate threads that are hard to thread by hand
  • Building a fly tying starter kit

Skip if

  • You tie flies only occasionally; hand-threading is quick enough
  • You use a bobbin with a large opening that is already easy to thread

Strengths

  • The oversized wire loop guides thread smoothly through the bobbin tube
  • Small and lightweight; easy to keep in your vise area
  • Speeds up fly tying workflow by eliminating a repetitive task

Trade-offs

  • Only works with bobbins that have a tube design
  • A single tool adds one more item to your fly tying desk
  • Minimal benefit if you already hand-thread easily
