easy yarnie

this is how i tye the yarnie i know there are alot of ways to skin this cat but this is my favorite way to do it, its durable quick and you dont need to tye a funky egg loop for it to work, you can make a big batch of these and throw them in different bags according to color and size or put in trays in your tackle bag they work great! i used them today the fish like them and i like using them, no fumbling with corkies or egg stained hands simple effective cheap and easy to make i know most of you guys on this site already use your own system for making yarnies and there already is a great tutorial on how to make them a different way i just thaught i would show you the easiest way for me

step]1] cut 3-4 pieces of yarn about 2-3 inches long


step[2] bring them together and tye a double knot around the middle of them i use 4lb test for this cause its cheap and theres always a spool of it rolling around somewhere some people use miracle thread i choose not to


step[3] grab the bundle at the knot or butt in your fingers so the loose ends are all pointing in the same direction


step[4] trim the loose ends in a half circle shape with scissors


step [5] fluff all the trimmed ends out to form a ball i dont beleive in spending a huge amount of time getting a perfect ball made after all this is a bait imitation pretty much and you never see a perfect ball of eggs


step [6] now you can slide your hook tip under the loop of 4lb test you made around the yarn and cinch the rest in your standard egg loop a little scent and your ready to fish u can drift fish these or run them under a float just like you would with a jigg i used peach for the color of this one cause thats what was killing them up at national bird creek today use any color yarn u like as long as its pink peach orange white or black haha

Nice how-to Sam. I especially like the pistol in the pictures....if the yarnies won't get them, the lead will.

thats an antique i dont think it been shot for a hundred years and im not gonna try haha but yes lead can be hazardous to all species lol

p.s. these yarnies are not even close to as nice as DJ'S but they will work

I have never seen them tied like that, but looks good. I tie them like a glo-bug. Use three or four small pieces of yarn. I personally like Mcfly foam. Place on hook wrap with red,pink or white thread about six times. Pull up yarn and wrap thread in front of yarn, whip finish and trim.
