Title: “I maintain there is much more wonder in science than in
pseudoscience
A wet sponge will compress quite nicely. If you use nylon cord or if
you use Teddy's biothane strap, simply wrap the strap or cord tightly
around the sponge and tie it off. the extra buckle on Teddy's strap
works great for that. Attach to saddle. Now all you have is what
appears to be a ball of twine not much bigger than a grapefruit on your
saddle. No cord hanging to get caught up in the brush.
Then if you are good and have wound it correctly, hold it and flip it
out and pop it back with the sponge soaked with water just like a
yo-yo.

PS: It is always better to wet the sponge first so it will compress
nicely.

On all things related to sponging, I defer to my "mentor"
Angie McGhee, but I did see a really neat sponge leash that Running
Bear sells when Teddy was here in Cody:
Accessory Strap - 6 foot - "Sponge Leash":
* 6 foot BioThane strap with heavy duty snap at one end, buckle on
other to attach sponge.
* Center ring to keep long loop out of your way by slipping sponge
snap through ring and then snapping to your saddle dee or ring.
* Extra snap included to "tie-up" your sponge.
