sewing needle. strip off half inch of off the end of the hackle so you have a bald strip and feed it through the eye, wrap it around 2-3 times and feed it through the eye again.then let it spin in your fingers.

Do you use forceps for hook removal?
They will work.

Thanks for all your replies...the tweezers seem to work ok for now.
BIGBADJOHN that is very generous of you.
What is a pair worth nowadays?
