Bic biro lid slidy boom

The bic biro lid with a hole at the top to stop children choking makes a great slidy boom. Simply bend back the clip, drill a hole, insert a clip and attach a lead

looks somethink like this:

i would have asked for a pic! but you got it in

good work - just wondering would much material get caught in the wider end of the lid

I always like to see innovation like this. Hopefully it's only being used in a boat and not cast from a beach. Don't know what the breaking strain would be, but I wouldn't fancy standing anywhere within 150 yards of it.
