Hi Padishar,

Take a trip over to your local fly shop (not Walmart!). They
will have clip on magnifying (I got 3x) glasses and a
cute little 1" cube magnet with a groove in it. You put
your fly's eye at the end of the groove and thread your
leader down the groove. You wouldn't think it would work,
but it is real Mr. wizard stuff: works every time.

You can flip up the clip on glasses up when you are done,
so you do not have to constantly take them on and off.

And, when you get this stuff, so will have to try them
out quickly, so another good excuse to go fishing!

HTH,
