Tyepro tool

Amazon threader works great, has 2 different size wire threaders... pretty simple, poke wire loop thru the hook/jig/lure eye till it expands on the other side, feed line thru the threader and pull threader back... so for simply getting the line thru the eye, it is perfect

it a needle threader, so you can buy anywhere you can buy sewing thread

got a reply from Tom, the inventor

"You are correct that many jigs with features near the eyelet can be a problem. It is incredibly difficult to design for all features that are found in fishing tackle. Based on most customer responses, I believe the current tool design meets the needs of many anglers, but I will continue to work on improvements to Tyepro."

I am happy with the Tyepro for the items it was designed for... clever design, will see how it holds up.

waiting for the threader from Amazon to ship

I think that should be the complement to the Tyepro, to help old eyes and not so steady hands

The site offered 2 different sizes of the tool, so that may be a factor. Will be interested to see your comments as to the comparison between the Tyepro and the Amazon threader...

got one... after receiving it, tried it out. works good for threading a the line thru the hook or jig eye...BUT, only if the eye fits into the tool

doesn't really work with jigs with a short shank from the eye to the jig, or with most jigs with a weedless crowding the eye...simply doesn't accommodate these... the eye won't make it to the threading site

I'm keeping it. sent some feedback to the inventor... waiting to see if there is any reply

...this did make me research what I was looking for, and found a needle threader that I have ordered, that should allow threading the line on any lure, will report on that when it arrives

what I ordered:

BigBlueTruck look at the Cabellas website fishing tools-other fishing tools.I tried to post the link but for some reason it won't let me.It's called JigFisherman's Eyebuster

I could see how it would be usefull to thread the line through the lure if you're hard of seeing but other than that I don't see it being worth much. ALthough for those who do havea hard time seeing up close that may be worth enough to justify it.
