I usually put the yarnies on the egg loop.  There is a way to put the tag end back into knot so that you have two loops.  THen you have one for the yarn ball and the other for eggs.  This is a crazy bait and others have mentioned other methods.  Nubbs has this down. 

You are living this the wheel house of steelhead.  Please post up your catch as you fish this winter.

I am going to get some yarn today. I was thinking pink peach and orange and I am going to make some up tonite. When I get done I will post the yarnies I made. I might pick up some pink worms to throw in the box.

The more I make them the better they turn out  Im very excited about this. I made 15 with  20 inches.  5 inches of  clippings is not bad for my first time making them.

I learned that the trick to nice perfectly round yarnies is a good pair of scissors. I got some that have a curve to them and they are tits. I have always drift fished mine, need to learn the bobber and jig stuff one of these days

Oh so true!  I usually go to a fabric store and get the best small pair of Fiskars I can find.  I like the spring loaded ones with straight handles.  And if you want them to last...hide them from the wife!  I'm not sure how women mess them up so dang fast.  Must use them to cut concrete slabs or something when I'm not looking ;)
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

 :yeah: I bought some made for fly tying I believe.  Have some of those fiskars for yarn cutting in the boat or on the bank though.
