i havent found a easier way of making slinkys than you folks, but however on a differant note, does anyone know where i can get a telescopic rod (not fishing rod) but anything up to 10 foot, im gonna put a net on the end and make me a corkie catcher, any info on where to get a device like this? btw, using a slinky means youwill snag less and lose less setups, and you will feel the bite much better, i have improved my hookups by swtichin from lead..
