A while back I saw a link to an add on here for a tool that you placed a jig head in, and easily put your light pound test fishing line through a hole, and easily tied your jig on. Anybody remember what the tool was called, or can you share the link? Getting older, and apparently blinder, and anything that helps is nice.

Anyplace that sells sewing supplies should have a needle threader. Cheap and should work well.

I have one. Just go to Walmart and buy a needle threader. You can buy 3 for about a dollar.

I bought one and consider it a waste of money. The spring is to weak to hold the jigs secure and not all jig heads will fit where the eye lines up with the hole.
If we concentrated on the really important stuff in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles

It`s called the Tyepro fishing tool.I have one and it works great.They are new and improved. I think the web site is www. TYEPRO.com. The web site has a demonstration video or you can go to Amazon and find it also.

COMING SOON! .. THE STICKLE HOOK " the stay level sickle hook". sits level in the water with all knots.! Provides better hook sets and more natural jigging motion. No more adjusting the knot, gluing , or tying loop knots that cause the hook point to tangle in the loop, or worse knick the line.. The jighook that will make all others obsolete !

What an awesome tool. I've got both the tools shown in the video, and never realized how versatile they are. I'll have to get them out and practice tying those knots. Thanks for the link.

I put a rubber band (from the kids braces) around the head and it fixed the issue. Hope it works for you as well. I bought one and spoke to the maker of the tyepro about the "loose" issue and he sent me a few "O" rings that I put on the tyepro to tighten it up. Works well. Used it a few times when my arthritis kicks in. If you bought one and have issues call the maker and he will get you straight.
