nice bit of bowie there

[ProAnglers]

@TwistiKristi Thx.. not many catch that..

where you melt it and crimp or squish it flat i would take where its flat and heat it and fold it and crimp it again because when you do it just 1ce it doesnt look strong really

[ProAnglers]

That's a really good idea. However, in part 2 (if I get the time to edit it) I embed a swivel in the end and melt the cord around the swivel. You melt the hole through the eye of the swivel. I guess I need to get off my ass and make that video...=)

@hunter213ish THEY SELL THE CORD AND BIG 10 POUND BAGS OF THE RIGHT SHOT IN THE LEAD AISLE AT YOUR FISHING STORE. THE CORD IS CHEAP BUT THE BAGS OF SHOT ARE LIKE 18 DOLLARS HERE IN OREGON. IF YOU HAVE BI-MART IN YOUR AREA THEY WILL KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT IF YOU GO IN THERE AND TELL THEM YOU WANNA MAKE SLINKIES

[IMKINDOFABIGDEAL13]

WOW I WAS LOOKING FOR A VIDEO OF SOMEONE MAKING THESE WITH THE LITTLE TOOL. I THINK I MAKE LIKE 10 FOR YOUR 1 HA HA HA AND I DO IT WITH OUT THE TOOL AND I DONT USE PLIERS. YOU CAN PINCH THESE WITH YOUR FINGERS ITS NOT THAT HOT.

The video was done well and very clear. What was missing was information on where to buy the cord you are using, what type weights you were using and the size. I have bought 1/8" (too small) and 1/4" parchute cord (seems too big). So a better explination of what the matterials are and where you can buy them would help. Thanks and looking forward to Part II

Thanks for the comment! I'll put part 2 and 3 together in the next week. It's steelhead season and I'm making a tone of these anyway. thx
