Recently I learned a little tying tip that lets you not use a bobbin threader and thought I would share it with you all. Instead of using a threader, just put the end of the thread just a little in the bobbin and then suck on the other end of the bobbin. The thread will go right through. This lets you not have to have a bobbin threader.

Good tip Loften. That's what I've always done. To me, bobbin threaders are too finicky.

Yeah that is a great tip and one I have always done. When I first stating tying twenty years ago I didn't even know what a bobbin threader was and it kinds just stuck for me. Honestly always thought everyone did it this way lol.
