I found the six hundred finesse worms I made during pandemic. These have been stored in a large bin and are bone dry but many are bent. I know I can put them in hot water and lay them out to get the kinks out. But will the plastic absorb some scented oil after that? I made them tri-color ala roboworm and would like to render them useful. Ideas most welcome.

I ordered the mold from Barlow’s with Gami hooks. I’m hoping to modify a swim bait mold so I can mold the plastic around the jig.

Any of you guys try this jig? https://barlowstackle.com/do-it-hover-jig-mold/?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=campaign&_kx=m1ZtKI6WNjPliDaX3IhCPF8P2YM4rDdv6qTxaNw2Zv8.HY2xRH

The Poison Tail has a variety of sizes. This may meet the multi-duty role you seek

Is it feasible to pour with the actual weedguard in place. I haven’t tried it. Probably melt the fibers? I fish a highland reservoir where they cleared the trees before filling it. It is devoid of vegetation unless it floods and the water is very clear. . Instead of installing a weedguard in that (mostly) hang-up free water, why not fill that hole with a paste type attractant? Or tie in a rabbit strip soaked in attractant?

Thank you for taking the time to help me by posting this. I’m familiar and use this method on my swim jigs. What I’m confused about is how to use these umbrellas

Wow! Great looking lures. I’m sorry to be thick but still don’t understand HOW to make / tie these. I’m quite familiar with tying skirts on jigs with the jig in my vice and also making skirts with rubber collars. Can’t see how to put that plastic umbrella in my vice. Obviously missing something. Sorry to be clueless

Do you tie the skirt to the umbrella before putting it on, or the other way around?

Have any of you guys tried this thing? https://skirtworksfishing.com/product-category/skirtworks-kit/ I would also appreciate a tutorial on how to us Skirt Umbrella on a jig.

Printing isn’t expensive (assuming some bulk).

I’m very much still looking. Your help would be most welcome

Skirt sellers have plastic “skirt umbrellas” that are designed for that. https://barlowstackle.com/-skirt-umbrellas--p823/ I use some old chenille

Sorry guys. I’m taking care of sick wife. Will get it done when able

I found several thousand 4 inch, tri-color finesse worms that I made over 5 years ago. They are dried out and some are bent. Any recommendations on rehabilitating them? If I can make them viable they will go to the HS Fishing Clubs.
