jscott & frogge,
Get the C&F midge threader box. They only run around 40 bucks. Probably less than what you spend on gas on a fishing trip. Especially to the SR jscott. It will be one the best investments in fishing gear you'll ever make. Mine is about 5 years old and still looks new. I'm expecting it to last my lifetime. Ramsey Outdoors has them and if you need it I can send you a $5-$10 off coupon depending on how much you spend.
frogge,
Get the magnetic net release as well. Another great invention. Get the one from BassPro. It's the strongest one I've found. I've bought them from Orvis, LLBean, and Cabellas and none of them would hold my net in brush. This one will not come loose when walking through brush.

I got the same box and it's great. It makes it so easy to put on midges.
And those coupons, Won't leave home without them.
