I have a bunch of tools from when I was turning wrenchs and discovered a great fly tying tool from them. I bought for about $1.00 a little tool that will magnatize and demagnatize your tools. When tying a bunch of flies of the same size hook I take the hooks out of the pkg and place them on the magnatize side. If I need a dozen that is how many I place on there. They stay put even if you drop the tool and you have the exact amount of hooks you need for that size. I have had as many as 24 on there at a time.
