I decided to give wacky rigging a shot this year and needed a way to hold and instal my o-rings.After looking around the garage a bit here's what I came up with.
 An old dryed up sharpie simply start the o-ring on the end (I use 3/16 id #36 rings)roll the o-ring all the way to the cap and under the pocket clip.Now they are secure and can't go anywhere .When I'm ready to use one I simply insert the senko in the pen cap and roll 1 o-ring on to the worm position it and I'm ready to go.You can either take the whole pen with you on the water and clip it on a pfd or just take the cap.Simple cheap and affective.

That's a great idea.ive never used a o ring when wacking it :smt005.i see your tapatalk is still acting up
My biggest worry is that my wife(when I'm dead)will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it

not too dissimilar from the ones you can buy from the store!  i did buy one of those, wasn't too expensive if i can remember correctly, but free is better than a few bucks anyday.

Yup. Sonoramikes version of tapatalk inserts spaces in the file name which confuses the main forum software.  Its a known issue that I dont have a fix for ... yet.

I have seen them from online stores but there is nothing local for me,do the ones from the store have a pocket clip?Are they as small as a pen cap,and will a 7" senko fit in one?Just asking as I've only seen them from an online pic.

Thanks polepole now I know what it's showing on your end and where the problem is.I'm almost certain it's my phone you most likely won't see this ever again from anybody but me.I'm on a iphone 4 like I'm sure some others are I don't think it's a provider issue since I'm mainly on wifi,with that said my phone is from a small provider the only difference I know of is that my iphone has no port for an sim card.Maybe there's an internal difference as well .

 Vince it shows on your phone?Odd it don't even show on my phone without clicking the broken image symbol.

Yeah, it shows on my phone using tapatalk too.

I'm attaching an image with spaces in the filename to see if this is specific to tapatalk or if I can reproduce it from my mac.

Damn it.  It's not the spaces because I can see what I just posted.
