Step 1
Hold the base of the bush next to the tip section and calculate where to cut.
Step 5
Place the end bung in the end of the second section. A slight twist will mark the bung ready for cutting.
Step 9
Pull the elastic back through the entire top kit until it appears from the bush. Hold the elastic and remove threader.

Step 2
Cut finer than you need to with a hacksaw moving down at one inch intervals until the bush is a tight fit.
Step 6
Cut the bung slightly smaller than your mark with a hacksaw or craft knife.
Step 10
Place the end cap of the connector on first and then tie on the main body with a double overhand loop knot.

Step 3
Remove all rough edges with a file or emery paper.
Step 7
Push the diamond eye threader through from the tip end.
Step 11
Tie the bung on at the base end forming a 12" loop. This will help when playing larger fish.

Step 4
Push the bush on. If correct the bush should not need gluing.
Step 8
Trap around 2" of elastic in the small kink in the end of the threader, making sure it is secure.
Step 12
Check the elastic and if necessary retie the connector until the correct tension is achieved.
