Should just take a couple fittings available at your local improvement/hardware store..
A barb/male thread first.. Then you can probably find a female to slip and a couple more and done..

I tried that at the local Ace..with the help of the plumbing dude we could not do it with out used 5 fittings.

guess what am asking is, is there a barbed 5/8 to 1.25 thread out there some where?

www.savko.com or www.usplastics.com are my go-to places. IME, if Savko doesn't have it it isn't made

You will probably have to use two fittings. Something like 1 1/4" male to 3/4" reducer, then 3/4" to 5/8" barb.
