I cut the ring off the end of the balloon after my first half hitch. I then tied the ring on with another half hitch. I put it on my tippet just like before, but instead of the line kinking, the balloon ring folded over and left my line straight. It did not move at all from where I set it. Another good thing is that I got a 100 balloons for $.50 at Dollar General. That should last a good long while.
