Abstract
A fly tying tool can include a base and a shaft that rotates relative to the base. The shaft can form a fly securing portion that includes a magnet by which a fly can be secured to the shaft. The fly securing portion can also include a hook feature spaced from the magnet to form a recess in which the fly may be placed. The shaft can include a threading structure in the form of a spiral to facilitate threading a line through the eye of a hook.
Claims20
A fly tying tool comprising:
- a base;
- and
- a shaft coupled to the base, wherein the shaft is configured to rotate relative to the base;
- wherein the shaft includes a fly securing portion having a magnet for securing a fly;
- wherein the shaft further includes a threading structure positioned on the shaft adjacent to the fly securing portion, the threading structure comprising a spiral defining a central channel, wherein the spiral is configured to guide a line through an eye of the fly while the fly is secured by the magnet.

A fly tying tool comprising:
- a base;
- and
- a shaft coupled to the base, the shaft being rotatable relative to the base;
- wherein the shaft includes a threading structure comprising a spiral having a bottom end and a top end and a central channel that extends from the bottom end to the top end;
- wherein the central channel is configured to guide a line through an eye of a fly positioned at the top end of the spiral;
- wherein the spiral is configured such that, as the shaft is rotated, the line is routed through the central channel until the line is freed from the top end of the spiral thereby threading the line through the eye of the fly.
3 more elements
A fly tying tool comprising:
- a base having a first end and a second end and a channel that extends from the first end to the second end;
- and
- a shaft comprising a first end forming a fly securing portion and a second end forming a coupling portion that inserts into the channel in the base to secure the shaft to the base, wherein the shaft is rotatable within the channel in the base, wherein the fly securing portion includes a magnet for securing a fly to the shaft, wherein the shaft further includes a threading structure comprising a spiral positioned adjacent to the fly securing portion and defining a central channel configured to guide a line through an eye of the fly.
