My dad and I used these things all the time.
I made several pairs of the wonder sticks over the years. Yes I've been bitten by them and yes I've used them in wet grass but
when I was young I peed on an electric fence. Maybe I'm immune now....
Got wavey hair anyway.
Soapy worms will catch the really clean fish and maybe even those big old hawgs that need "cleaned out"
If you do make a pair change yer name to Darwin, increase yer insurance policy (or yer mother-in-laws then water the heck out of the lawn. (Invite the mother-in-law to join the fun)
As mentioned in earlier posts you will need two conductive rods about two feet long (each) I cut one of my dads wooden handles off a hammer then cut it in half. Then I drilled holes in the handles so the copper rods would just fit. I glued the rods into the handles then stole one of my moms lamps and cut the cord off. I stripped the wire off the ends and soldered one lead to each rod below the handle. Then I stole my dads black tape and tapped them up. Only got shocked when I grabbed them both at the same time or tried to pull a worm that was too close to the rod. Er, I guess I was shocked when dad found his hammer, mom found the lamp, and the neighbor found his hose running in the neighbors yard. He was shocked too when he grabbed it ot take it home! Oh yea, wet grass is tingely.
Oh yea,
If ya spill a little of dads adult beverage where ya are worm shockin they might glow in the dark.
Man I had a happy child hood. Thanks for the memories.
Beware, worm with care....
That bubble bath approach reminds me of Lawrence Welk....
