I saw the thread on here about someone doing that, but would that fit into skinny neck tanks? He used JB Weld to attach the strand to the rod and some thin line wrapped around.

yes, just get relatively thin/flexible wire like 24 or 26 AWG. i would crimp rather than jb weld them on though

Crimp?

Crimp (joining) - Wikipedia
if you are buying a crimping tool, i would look to get a larger pneumatic hose crimper so you can make your own custom reg hoses down the line too

I understand "crimp", I don't understand how? I've crimped wires, hydraulics, but never wires to the end of a rod?

same process, you just overlap about an inch of the bundle of wires over the end of the rod, slip the ferrule over, then crimp everything down.

It's all in the eye of the beholder! Just don't tell them it's for scuba...it'll get the scuba tax!

Anyone care to share pictures of their DIY cleaning whips? Just getting some more ideas, thanks.
