Tyepro flyfishing tool
May 30, 2019 23:40:54 #
Being an olden type kinda person, I found myself not being able to stab the line into the eye of the hook and then tie a clinch knot... my problem is just not being able to see the hole in the fly...my eyes are just getting old...
So, I looked around and found a "tyepro" thing... your experience may vary, your vision may be different, however, it works for me.
Anyone else here use this?
Best Regards and Good Luck!

Yup,the old eyes are not what they use to be .I use Tyepro a lot ,and some of the other tie tools help a lot .The simple cheap ones are the best .

My wife got me one a couple of years ago and makes tying hooks a breeze. Especially if the wind is blowing, it simplifies getting a small leader through the eye of the hook. I just wish it would tie the knot for me.

I have a pair of magnifying glasses that attach to the brim of my ball cap. Working so far.
MadOyof, one of my brothers has some glasses that are like coke bottle bottoms that he keeps tied around his neck with a string... those work well for him. It all comes down to whatever works for you. :)
With the (sometimes) higher cost of most fly fishing stuff, a Tyepro seems to solve my simple problems with attaching a fly to my tippets. Of course, being able to easily attach a fly to my line does not really improve my rate of catching fish... Wish I could spend $17.00 to make the catching fish as easy as tying the fly to the line.
Thanks for the feedback guys and girls... it seems as though (for me) that this is a good investment.
Best Regards and Good Luck!

I have a Tyepro that I use primarily to pre-tye circle hooks to 15 pound fluoro leaders for catfishing. I always have several in my tackle bag. I have an inline swivel attached and can replace leader and hook in 30 seconds.

A needle threader from a sewing kit works fine; you can “feel” your way to the hook eye with it.
