If you take a look at a regularly sized fishing pole, you should notice that the fishing line is guided from the reel at one end of the pole, to the opposite end, by several metal circles through which the line passes. The three very small washers will serve as these rings on our Pocket-sized Fishing Pole. This step is a bit tricky - you will wish you had significantly more than just two hands.
First, put a section of wire through the washer and fold the wire in half so that the washer is in the bottom of the V shape formed. Second, twist the wire tightly to hold the washer in place. Third, use the two straight ends of the wire to wrap around the antenna and the washer to hold the washer in place atop the pole. Finally, put some super glue on this joint to permanently attach the washer - Be very careful not to permanently attach yourself to anything. Repeat this step for the other two washers. Attach one washer to the end of each section of the antenna.

Why can't you just glue the washer to the pole?
