you can either thread them on a hook or just put them thru the end of the triple ball end.
you can fish them by themselves on a jighead or use them as an added bait to a hair or marabou jig.
The gills and crappies love that little bouncing ball on the end. I've found that they work best threaded on a jighead and fished under a bobber. Slowing twitch and reel in the bobber to give the jig and moving and bouncing motion in the water.
Good luck.
