✅ SOLVED What is this needle-like object??

[testing123]

Found this the other day and have no idea what it could be used for. has a sharp needle on one side, and what looks like a brass center then a long looped wire on the back. About 7.5 to 8 inches long. Any ideas??

possible electrical probe type of item

is the back wire a loop?--if so it might be a baiting needle used to made a hole in a bait fish ...or it poke a fish's air bladder after coming up from from deep water to release air pressure so it can be released safely

It is a tool for fly tying. The wire loop threads the thread through a bobbin barrel and the other end is used to put a drop of head cement (glue) on the finished fly. That end also cleans out the bobbin barrel when wax builds up in it (from the waxed thread).

Wow, thanks guys! Certainly didn't expect it to be that, but glad it's not some kind of drug needle!

Well, it kind of is... if fishing is your drug of choice. Lol.
