I'm looking for a string silencer that wont pick up burrs will walking though the weeds. Yet I want it to last.
Catwhiskers are the only thing I can get to work for not picking up burrs and stick tights around here.
Beaver Balls are smooth and bur free and quit.
Second on catwiskers, ive used them for more years than i can remember, ive tried a lot of others through the years but always com back to the wiskers.
Another vote for the whiskers!
catwiskers served on and cut small 1- 1.5" so they don't flop around
Whiskers for me too. Go to www.jannsnetcraft.com, (http://www.jannsnetcraft.com,) buy the round rubber bug legs. You get a 1 inch wide strip about 4 feet long for $1.19 and there are 9 colors to choose from.
Make that:

Thanks Peachey I just ordered.
I like the spider looking ones from Black Widow (others carry them also) I resisted using them for several years cause I thought they looked, well weird. But they work, and although I forget the weights they weighed much less than the cat whiskers which I replaced with them.
1.5 - 2" pieces of leather boot lace that I've soaked for a day in Pitch Blend. Waterproof, last forever and do a good job of quieting a string. Cheap, too.
I would say cat whiskers, but when I use beaver or other fur, I just ignore the burs.
I know cat whiskers probably work the best but i just love my Bow Hush whiskers.
Catwhiskers. :thumbsup:
Thanks Everyone for your input and Especially to Peachey, I went to that web site and both my father and I ordered some of the tube legs like you suggested. Again thanks everyone for all the input.
