Lost bead on sling, now what?

[perrito]

Here's an idea which you probably already have the part for - use a key ring. You know, one of those rings on a key "chain"?

I put an airsoft BB inside the amsteel about 1/2 inch up from the bury on the non-cinching side of the loop.

FWIW, I've seen various sizes of spilt rings in the build-it-yourself fishing lure section at the local Bass Pro store.

This isn't an answer, but the topic got me wondering. Does every cottage whoopie sling maker include some sort of bead on their whoopies? I got mine from whoopieslings.com and they did, but I was wondering if this is standard practice.

I ordered a set of Dynaglide Whoopie Slings from Dutch.

Ooohhhh!!! +1 on titanium beads

Maybe we have stumbled on a new product for Dutch.

My bead disappeared. I just clipped on my carabiner like you did.

COUNTYCOMM sells Ti. beads but they are spendy 17.00 for 3

Someone will come along and say you didn't taper that BB enough, thereby causing immediate failure and your doom.

I like it.

That's pretty brilliant.
