I've been experimenting with using some neon colored straws tied onto streamer hooks to make pencil poppers. After the straw is in place, I stuff it with foam. Not quite ready for prime time. Anyone else ever try this?

We use the big drinking straws also for deer hair bass bugs. You can spin the hair on up to the collar and slide the straw over it to hold it back out of the way while you spin the head of the bug. Once the head is trimmed and shaped carefully cut off the straw and shape the collar of the bug. Very useful things those straws!!! Wendy's here has the big fat straws and those work best on deerhair.

Here goes. The straw is filled with Glo Bug Yarn using a long wire hook. The yarn is brought out of the end of the straw enough to make an egg . The exposed yarn is tied to the hook shank. A bit more yarn is pulled from the straw after it is tied on the hook shank and cut off just above the straw end leaving enough yarn exposed for the next Glo Bug. The yarn will flare out into a Glow Bug Egg. That is a quick and dirty way to make Glow Bug Eggs. You can buy a tool like this for making the Glow bugs, it is a wire hook and three different size plastic tubes.
