Thats a lot of manufacturing effort for an item then to be separated , I believe its to be kept together . . for what I'm not sure. try the goldfish tank first for action , flotation . .

I agree - the other beads were separate so why should these be bunched in such a way? They aren't drilled all the way through either so they're not like normal floating beads.

I like their Link Swivel Aggregation Unit though...

i have it figured out.....

theyare floating stopper beads you have to put your hook line through the wire loop, pull it through, then tie on the hook, then slide it down to the hook knot and there you go... really like the pink ones!!! as for the safety pin.. there to hold your pants together..???

I think it's a laptop computer. It's used to keep you occupied when the weather is too rubbish for fishing. :wink:
