I ask my wife to get me a couple of threaders several years ago, which she did. I found they were too large for the flies where I really needed help. A couple of years back I bought a little fly box which had the threaders in it, then I accidently pulled the wire out of one of the plastic base. I replaced it with a strand from a multi-strand wire leader. Which give the idea of putting threaders in my nymph boxes. Those 16 soft hackles were a little bit of a challenge yesterday in the shade. Thanks for stimulating the noodle.
