Makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only guy out there suck-starting my bobbin.

[Lancer09]

I noticed that! Does it a actually work?

Yeah, I do it because I broke my last bobbin threader.

Of course it works, I do it because i have never had a bobbin threader. I just thought that was how it was done.

I had a threader at one time......no idea where it ended up. They are ok, but another tool for me to keep up with, pick up, drop, lose, etc.

[Lancer09]

I had a threader as well... and lost it like everyone else.

Now i just thread it.. Very carefully. I'll be trying this new trick.

I fished one of these flies this weekend. I did not catch anything on it, then I lost said fly to a rock.

Hmm...i nebver used a threader, i have always just sucked the thread thru. Sometimes it can be alittle tricky to get it to start, but yeah, i've been doing it that way for the better part of my 15+year tying career
