Quick take
A magnetic tool that holds flies in place to thread and tie tippet without bending over or using your hands.
The 20/20 Magnetic Tippet Threader from Tight Line Enterprises is a small fly fishing tool for getting tippet through tiny hook eyes. A magnet holds the fly in a groove while you slide the tippet through, which helps when your fingers are cold or the light is poor. It works on flies with or without bead heads and has a clip so it can hang from a lanyard or zinger.
