    Make a wacky rig tool for $1.00

    I bought a 1/2 inch hollow fid or fids at the hardware store for .89 and put a screw in the end that you can stretch the O-rings over the head. This pic is a fid in full length of 6 inches or so. I cut off almost 3 inches and works real good.

    Just thought I would share this...

    Mike...Great idea. Did you enter that in the Tip of the Month contest.


    I thought I would be on Easy Street by now but somehow I missed the off ramp!

    A fid or fids is a tool to put a loop in a rope without having a knot. I don't know how to use it for that, But it works OK for rigging wacky senkos.

    I bought it at a mom and pop hardware store. They had 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, and 5/8 in I think. 1/2 in is the right size for me.
