Loose yarnies can be purchased/tied and then used just like a soft or hard bead. I use a large needle, push the leader through and slide them down to the top of the hook. You can also peg them just above the hook if that's what you like.Cool! Thank you sir. I noticed the shorter hook shank in most of the video's I've watched, and some of the folks mentioned hook size but not style. Even saw some folks hand tying them with no hook, just spider thread or magic thread etc. Think I'll get some red colored hooks in size 2 to start. Kinda doubting hook color would make much difference to the fish, but looks good to me so why not?
