Quick take
Tool for threading and tying flies and jigs onto line, with built-in line clipper and lanyard.
This small nylon and stainless steel tool grips a hook, jig or fly while you feed line through its funnel, so threading tiny eyelets gets easier. It handles hooks in sizes 10 to 1, jigs from 1/32 to 1/8 oz and flies in sizes 2 to 16, with line and tippet down to 0.003 inch. A built-in line clipper and a lanyard keep it within reach, which suits fly anglers and ice anglers working in cold or dim light.
Best for
- Fly fishing in low light or cold weather
- Ice fishing where dexterity is reduced by gloves
- Tying small flies and attaching jigs quickly
Skip if
- You tie many flies by hand; this is for on-the-water knot tying only
- You fish large saltwater flies; the tool fits small hooks only
Strengths
- Eyelet gripper holds tiny hooks steady for thread entry
- Line funnel guides thread through the eye on first try
- Built-in clipper eliminates need for separate scissors
Trade-offs
- Designed for small hooks and jigs; larger flies won't fit
- Lanyard attachment can snag on line during casting
- Requires practice to thread line smoothly on the first attempt
