As for running yarn through your backer rod I took a great big paper clip (you could use stout wire) and bent it in a V shape. I then stick it through the backer-slide the yarn through the "V" , push the two ends together and then pull it back through the same hole. Works way fast than threading a piece of line with a needle. I converted all my buddies to the same way! Much more efficient for me ;-).

I always pre-tie a bunch of them and just put them in a llittle plano box for use on the river later!
