Quad Handles
These are WAY over engineered.

Chopsticks feel so much better in the hand.

A finished Chopstick Handle next to a semi-exploded one to show the construction.
  • Cut a 32.5" by 1/4" spar in half.
  • Cut about 4 feet of 3mm line put a figure eight knot in the middle.
  • Thread each half of the handle on to the line so they meet at the figure eight knot.
  • Tie an overhand knot at each end to keep the half-handle from sliding off the line.
  • Thread a vinyl end cap on each end with a needle.
  • Tie an overhand knot after the end cap to larkshead the flying line to and trim to length.
  • Repeat for the other handle.
  • Takes less than an hour to make the Chopstick Handles.
