Tyepro tool
it a needle threader, so you can buy anywhere you can buy sewing thread
"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
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:
