MATERIALS

Spinner fishing lures (2)
Pair of ball-and-loop earring posts (or earwires)
Wire cutters
Needlenose pliers

DIRECTIONS

1. Remove the hook.
Carefully cut off the hook at its “eye” with the wire cutters. Watch out for those gnarly, three-pronged “trouble” hooks! Dump the hook.

2. Assemble.
Using your needlenose pliers, open the loop on the earring post. Slide the loop of the earring through the eye of the fishing lure, and close the loop. Add additional baubles (sinkers, anyone?) to taste.

Wow. That was quick. Rinse and repeat.
