Crown 177 cal. cleaning kit

weedeater line heat and fold end over to make a loop, or you can use fishing line

I use the patchworm system. You can see videos on YouTube about it. It’s not that expensive and you can buy single caliber kits or universal ones. From my experience the caliber specific pieces allow for a deep scrub every time you pull the patch through. 

I just made one with the weed eater line. For use on my Benjamin Marauder pistol. Melted a blob on the end, then sharpened the other end to a point. I have some very small .22 cal patches. one is not tight enough but three works well. 

I use the patch worm 99% of the time. Only time I use the rod is with a cotton swab and flitz to ready polish a barrel up and then I use a couple of the cleaning pellets so nothing gets down the TP. Also turn the gun upside down so with a pull through as little as possible goes to the TP.

I have and use a Patchworm as well but melting the blob on the weed eater line oversize to what you think you need and then sanding it down around the base with a nail file or sandpaper works great for a snug fit with a patch.
