Figure A

1. Clip swivel from wire fishing leader; wire will hold the hardware.

2. Arrange items, using the egg sinker as the centerpiece. The supplies are listed roughly in the order in which they will be used.

3. String them on the fishing leader.

4. Run the leader through the crimp bead, around the split key ring, and back through the crimp bead and back through several of the hardware pieces (figure A).

5. Crimp the crimp bead tightly to hold the leader firmly. Clip excess leader.
