Thanks for the video! Here is my contribution to help those who would like a certain weight, Daisy BBs .177(4.5mm) 10bbs weigh about 3.44 gram so avg about .344 g /bb. Following this formula 4 oz is 113 gram about 328 bb 5oz is about 412 bb etc...hope this help for those who doesn't have a scale and wish to target a specific weight!

[@grandwonder5858]

You have the best how-to video on how to make the dragon tail weight on KZbin! Very thorough explanation and demo! Thanks for the upload!

[@Bait2Bend]

Grand Wonder greatly appreciate you watching. Hope you’re having a great Saturday night. Take care. -Scott

[@CaptainKenFishing]

Thanks for the DIY!

[@markdavis3695]

Shove another wire connector in so that the bbs stay in one end instead of flowing back and forth. This way only air remains in the other end

[@KillerBeeOutdoors]

Love this man. I have used it for 2 years now bud. Thanks

[@xxlxpman]

Good how to video, thanks.

[@rgrea2]

Thanks for sharing such a brilliant idea and I have all that at home so I'm headed to make and then go fishing when dry

[@kevinkothmann8307]

Best job describing assembly!

[@johntownzen957]

This is exactly what I was searching for. Thanks.

Great DIY fishing weight project. Very easy looking. Thanks for sharing Scott.

[@Bait2Bend]

Thank you Kenny. It was fun making them.

[@wazup3333]

​​@@Bait2Bendthose hooks and orange wire connector that's will rust out quick in saltwater, any alternatives?

[@tenncutt]

Good video buy the way

[@TheReelFishermen]

Gonna be making some

[@Bait2Bend]

That’s awesome. Real Easy!!! Good luck and thanks again for Tues. ....and the lid.

[@mitchellhelms7238]

Cool I like it 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Bait2Bend]

Thank you. Thx for watching and have a great evening. -Scott

[@kentuckycatmanoutdooradven4643]

Cool video brother I need to make a few of those

[@Bait2Bend]

Definitely easy to make.

[@stevo3644]

Great video & thanks for sharing. A demo video on the water showing how to rig and use these could be good as well. Cheers from Melbourne, Australia.

[@Bait2Bend]

Thank you for that information. It is great hearing from you and people from all over the world. Thank you for commenting and have an awesome day. -Scott

[@williamcornelison4721]

Have a half dozen made up.... Certainly calls for plastic gloves. Got all I needed at walmart..

[@larryswilling6777]

Like it cool

[@rgrea2]

I made 3 each of 4 oz & 3 & 2 & 1 oz only thing changed Is I wet tube and orange wire nut, that makes it bubble up more. works great

[@angelusvicis]

I've made a few of these, I use cut up bolts for mine, but the end caps I use self screwing drywall anchors for both sides, I cut 1 end off so i can make a loop with wire I glue both ends in...never comes out

[@celticwarrior777]

whata great idea look at you , you could sell those

[@keithknechg3217]

Why a eye hook on both ends.? Great idea thanx much.

[@Bait2Bend]

Thank you for watching!!! I'm on the Mississippi River and sometimes the current gets to movin! These things weigh about 8 oz so if I want to add more weight to it I throw a weight on one end and my line on the other. Definitely helps in not getting snagged in the MS River. Thanks Keith! -Scott

[@the_real_vdegenne]

Very nice video ! I have a question, I am new to fishing and I still didn't catch my first fish. I mostly fish next to where I live, on a coast with lots of rocks where I get snagged often and because I am a beginner this is a real frustration. So today I was searching for a solution and here I am on your video. My question is do you think this sinker is appropriate for coast fishing too or is it only appropriate for fishing in rivers as you mention it in this video ? I hope you can answer me, have a good day.

[@Bait2Bend]

I would think its good with any moving water with hazardous bottoms. Rocks/trees etc... Whether its river current or ocean current its moving water. I think you start small and make 1 or 2 of them, put those guides on both ends so you can add or take off weight and go from there. These snake sinkers have saved me on the river and I hope help you in the ocean. Hope this helped and you too have an awesome day. -Scott

[@chuckjohnson4048]

You call yourself a fisherman? You need to learn fishing termanology. A three inch fish is really 13" long, just hold it closer to the camera. If asked you've always caught your limit. My limit most days is zero, on great days I catch two fish both at least 3, I mean 13". Skunked, delete thar from your vocabulary. A really good set of fishing/hunting/ camping/hiking primers was written by Patrick F. McManus. Learned all about the outdoors from him.

[@Bait2Bend]

Chuck Johnson Valentin-....and definitely listen to Chuck. He’s absolutely about the details of fishing. Totally agree Chuck Working on getting better every time out!!!! Thanks for comments guys. Have an awesome day. -Scott

[@tenncutt]

I have a bag full of small lead shot. What do you think of a skinnier tube with lead? Would skinnier be better for snaglessness?

[@Bait2Bend]

I would say absolutely, anytime you go skinny yet have a more dense area would be less likely to snag. I’m always game for trying anything. Thank you for watching have a great night. -Scott

[@wish2fish37]

I weighed my bb's on a scale and it sure looked like a lot more than what you have in your hose.I used 4 ounce copper bb's.

[@Bait2Bend]

Mine were just regular babies. I didn’t really have a scale to weigh them, I just see how they reacted on the river when I got out there. The river was nagging me like crazy and this was a partial solution. So you used copper? How did it work for you I’m curious? Thanks for commenting.-Scott

[@wish2fish37]

I just made them and have not tried them.Have had the BB's for years laying around.Did not test them in water to see how they react before sealing them which is probably a good idea to do before glueingthem shut.

[@Bait2Bend]

Great idea on testing the weight before gluing. I’m going to try that my next batch

[@wish2fish37]

Idea was from another video like yours on weighing them before glueing.I did test mine today after the fact and they did have flotation to them.

[@antonyjohnson5779]

Gorilla glue makes a clear glue that does not expand and waterproof.

[@wazup3333]

Won't hold up with saltwater, will rust out

[@kencleg7721]

This version makes noise.
