swivel - double crimp - small bead (keeps slide from coming off) - sliding swivel with tubing - bead (stopper , pulls slider loose) - small crimp (stops lg bead) - large bead - double crimp - swivel

I am putting this all on 80# Trilene, same as I use to redo the Qcove assemblies





Now all you need to do is get spacing right ...




Didn't get a picture but put surgical tubing over large swivel at bottom of flasher and add your favorite hoochy whadever

Nice, I converted a few flashers last year. I cut a notch in the trailing edge and epoxied a nylon bushing, that fit the q-cove peg, in place of the original swivel. I use the original q-cove line assembly, works like a charm. I like your idea, you don't have to cut or epoxy anything.

Hey Gutz, Do you run the snap swivel through the top split ring on flasher?

The last picture is great, but can you show a photo with it rigged up as well?

Yeah, the snap goes through the big ring at the top, just like a Qcove.
