Review on SpeedyJig PLUS Paracord Bracelet & Monkey Fist Jig: Survival Bracelet Making Kit - Weave Camping Rope, Jewelry, Keychains - Perfect Craft Idea for Kids and Adults - Includes High-Quality Cord and Buckles - Made in USA by Chris Cruz

If you just make bracelets then by all means, but if you plan on stamping monkey fist designs look elsewhere. You need to make a monkey fist (a real monkey fist, not a decoration). Your core has a WEIGHT so you can cast your line and use a 23 lb steel ball "which is 2" or less when using lead this jig sucks for that Summary: If you do nifty little kid projects do for children under 8 years old. Good product. The core of construction is solid, just not designed to make a monkey fist unless you use a hollow plastic sphere, which a monkey fist isn't made of. I'm bringing this back as 'Creating a Monkey Fist' which I do for rappelling and boating solutions. This is where the need for WEIGHT comes into play. When I need harnesses and braided lines, there's a key loop and spring clip for that when I'm off-road. was built for it, but it isn't.
