Impromptu/Fairly Indestructible Bobbin Threader

[rrhyne56]

Nothing earthshaking, just a handy little tool

[Bamboozle]

I have always used these.

[rrhyne56]

those look like they ought to work pretty well.

I've been using the floss threaders for years. They work fine. My bodkin originally had a wire threader on the other end but I pulled it out and drilled out the hole so it could be used as a half hitch tool that would aid in pushing errant hackles back away from the head area.

Another, vote here, for the "blue-floss-threaders"! Best and easiest bobbin threaders I've ever used.
Although, I now see them re-packaged in fly shops and offered by on-line fly shops, for $5.95 to $7.95 a pack, for the exact same quantity I buy them from Rite Aide Drug, for $2.98 a pack.
Sort of like buying "Hard As Nails" from Rite Aide, too for $2.19 a bottle, OR, buying the exact, same, product, (same, exact, bottle even but blue, instead of clear glass!?), sold in fly shops, under the moniker of "Hard As Hulls" for $6 to 7.95!?!

Renzetti includes a floss threader with their bobbins.

I got my first threader from my dentist who I also fish with. As soon as I saw it I thought...

...ahhhh, I know what I can use THAT for!

Have your teeth cleened and get a pack of blue ones from your dentist -- my wife brings them home and I do. Bill

I also made a threader with a needle. Put a needle into a dowel then with a Dremel cut a slot in the eye. Put the needle eye thru the bobbin hook on the thread and pull the thread thru.

[billknepp]

made mine as well,from a chunk of .12 thousandths stainless steel wire I bought in bulk for weed guard making...and a chunk of dowel rod.

I just tilt my head back and suck the thread through.(insert joke here)
