a rigid center section comprising a first end and a second end;
a first layer of thread, wrapped substantially around the entirety of the rigid center section spanning from the first end to the second end;
a first coating, covering at least part of the first layer of thread;
a section of fishing line comprising a first end and a second end, wherein at least a part of the section of fishing line is placed in contact with the first coating;
