My eyesight isn't what it once was. I can thread tippet fine with good light, but on cloudy days or when the sun is going down, I have trouble getting it in the eye. This leads to frustration and wasted time making multiple attempts to thread a fly. I was in VT on vacation, and happened to pop into the Dick's there, and saw this little tool on the shelf. I figured what the heck I'll give it a try. It's one of the best fly fishing purchases I've ever made. It couldn't be easier to thread a fly. Even tiny nymphs. You just put the eye on one end and a magnet holds it up right, run your tippet down the groove, and voila right through the eye. It's so simple and I have a 99% success rate threading a fly on the first try! So much wasted time saved stabbing tippet getting out magnifiers etc. What a great idea and US made to boot. There's lot's of gimmick tools available in the fly fishing world, but this isn't one of them, it honestly works as advertised. Highly recommend for your vest!
