cadman Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Can anyone tell me the easiest way to separate these little strands from each other, instead of one at a time....Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old man in the boat Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I tie all of mine on so it is not a problem to just grab the ends between my thumbnail and finger and pull. I like to leave them together till after the weedgaurds are glued in. It is also possible to pull them and cut them which will let them snape back one at a time.

21xdc Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Only one good way. Cut the strips 1/2 inch longer than you want them. Tie with 20-24 gauge copper craft wire wrapped only twice pulled tight, twisted and cut off tag end. Hold the bait in a vice and pull the 1 inch strip into 3-4 strands. Then stretch out the rubber as much as you can take and cut with dull scissors close to your fingers. You will end up getting very fast doing this. I have tied many of thousands. I used to buy 4-7K dollars worth at a time, 150 lbs each color in special run colors including glow in the dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
