Abstract
A device for threading an eyelet, e.g., a fish hook or needle, has a resiliently deformable loop attached to a pen light such that the loop and the eyelet are in the path of the light beam to illuminate the process of inserting the loop, catching the line to be threaded and pulling it through the eyelet. The lens of the pen light is solid and the end or base of the loop means is embedded in the lens material.
