Not long ago one of the members here posted a pattern using legs/tentacles from this toy monster.
I can't remember how the legs were attached to the hook shank.
The legs move all over the place.

I would go with a thread base for 3/8" behind the eye, CA glue and a light thread and more CA to secure. Thread the leg on for 3/8" like you would a plastic worm.
Want to hear God laugh? Tell him Your plans!!!
Do a test on that stuff before you use CA glues on it. The ones I have, the CA melts then disentegrates the plastic. If yours will handle the CA, then Uncle Jesse has it nailed.
I just tie the stuff on with medium tension thread wraps. I'm still playing with the concepts, though, and haven't got to a fishable fly yet.

Here's some pictures as how I do these tentacles, as described by Uncle Jesse. I have never had any problems with the super glue attachment.
To make it easier to thread onto the hook, I heat a bodkin and "drill" a hole in the tentacle.

I have tied a few on by running the hook point through the middle of the strand.
A few X- wraps of thread to help hold it on.
Wacky worm idea. Has worked a few times for me.
