Ill have to keep that in mind if i need to replace mine

The way I do it is to fold each strip in half, crossways, and cut it into two equal pieces. Place one half on each side of the string and clamp them to the string with a hemostat or alligator clip. Clip near one end to leave the middle clear. Then get serving thread and center it in the strips and serve them on. Make your serving wraps tight.

Then when you take off the clip and seperate the strands it puffs out into a nice little ball. Repeat on the other end of the string. If you need more silencing than that, you can tie on 3-4 strips on each end instead of just two. Served on like that they will not come off until you take them off. They'll outlast your string. And being shortened that way they won't flap around at all.

Welcome to 'old school.' [8D]

I just tied the strips on there and then trimmed a bit off each side. I just tied them on there like the beginning of tying your shoe [8D], I'd say they'll come loose and I'll have to tighten them.

Yeah, that's the way the package says to do it. Of course, they're in the business of selling whiskers, so you have to buy more of 'em when they come loose and fly off. And they will. Not like it'll run you to the poorhouse replacing them but it can be annoying. Serving them on is far and away the better thing to do.

If you go to a fishing supply store that has a good selection of lure building supplies, you can get a roll of living rubber spinnerbait skirting for about 15 bucks and have a lifetime supply of whiskers. It's the exact same stuff and you can get it in all kinds of different colors. How's about a hot pink string from gibblet and flourescent chartruese whiskers for your 3D bow? [8D]

LOL! Sounds like a good combo! Once I get the Cardiac and put my money to set it up I'll give the 337 a little more 3D attention.
