there you have it folks-- straight from the guy who made these!!    excellent work Steve!!

   The orange and red tails are made from 20# mono...the green ones are 40# mono.  Taking a length of mono.....tie overhand knot.....make 14 loops in the 20# and 8 in the 40#  (can get more if stronger than me) ...pull knot up to about 1/2 long....use pliers on tag ends....lubricate knots.....then steady pull down tight....clip one end close...leave about 1/4 inch on other.....hold with needlenose against knot....hold lighter to part sticking out...will melt back into the ball shape.

   Thank you Kevin for the interest...  and Carl...Jim and  Joe for the comments

thanks Jim  yes sir  its a knot -- kind of like a slip knot;; very heavy string!  like a weed eater -- cant say for sure tho.

i remember those carl-he makes them basically like a knot for a slip bobber.that is over simplified but that was the general idea.i think he had a how- to some where.i forget what material he used.very ingenius.

Where do you get those tails?? They remind me of Craig Riendeau's Wee Willie Wiggler
