Sean Ferree thanks, got most of the materials listed in the description. They are kinda fun to make too!

Great idea. I wish 1/2” cork balls were still that price :). How sturdy is the stretch magic? Have you had the line cut through it, especially when you hook a heavier fish?

[@ModernWoodShop]

The line is very durable, I’ve never had an issue with it breaking.

[@tahall87]

How did you cut an opening in the eye of the needle?

[@ModernWoodShop]

I actually used the wire cutter on my leathermen. You could also use a ton snips or an electrical pliers!

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

The balls are 32 cents apiece.

[@ModernWoodShop]

A little bit more expensive than they were, still have some left though! The natural works better than agglomerate.

@@ModernWoodShop you can get a foam ball that the exterior is like a ping pong ball and foam on the inside. Get them at Hobbie lobbie
