C&F Design Spare Threader Standard
Threader for threading the tippet through the pre-set fly. Set the flies that you use frequently or those used for evening rise on the threader in advance. If set in the threader system foam in advance, you can remove the fly without taking out the threader from the case. If you do not pre-set the fly and only plan to use it at the field, we recommend short threaders.
Specifications
| Size | Hook Size | Tippet Size |
|---|---|---|
| Standard (Blue) | #16-#19 | 5X-7X |
| Midge (Pink) | #20-#26 | 7X-8X |
The sticker color differs by size. Please check the color when purchasing. Always use a threader that matches the hook size and tippet.
FAQ
Can I use this threader with flies that are not pre-set?
Yes, you can use it with flies not pre-set. However, for field use only, we recommend short threaders.
What is the difference between the standard and midge threaders?
The standard threader is designed for hook sizes #16 to #19 with tippet sizes 5X to 7X. The midge threader is for #20 to #26 with 7X to 8X tippet sizes. The sticker color helps identify the correct size.
Is the threader suitable for evening fishing?
Yes, it is especially helpful when flies are hard to see in the evening or for anglers with presbyopia, as it reduces the difficulty of threading the tippet through the eye.

I use this threader every time I go fishing. The blue standard size fits my usual flies perfectly. It’s easy to set up and I can quickly remove the fly without taking the threader out of the case. Saves time on the water.

The pink midge threader works well for my smaller flies. The sticker helps me identify the size quickly. I appreciate that it’s designed for evening use, making threading easier in low light.

This threader is a game-changer for my routine. I set my favorite flies in advance and just pull out the fly when needed. No more fumbling with tippets in the dark.
