I cut the bottom out of a foam beer can insulator and fit over a plastic Jiffy Peanut Butter jar, or two over a tall water bottle. Cut a shallow groove with a razor to anchor the line end, wrap about 5 times around, and sink the hooks in. The jar holds my in-line weights.
Lightman, slice the noodle about 1/2 inch deep along the length of it and stop short of each end about 3/4 inch, then you can put the loop end/swivel end of the harness into the slice and wrap the rest around the noodle and stick the hook in to hold the other end. I ordered the plastic thingys from Don at Ole Petes. They are the same as the ones they sell their harnesses on. They aren't on the website, but you can email him if you want them, as they just got them back in stock. He even ships a plastic bag for each ne with the thingy.
