BigTimeBuzzer Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I make the ones with the little Y guards all the time. I make them with several different weed guard systems actually. Alot of guys like the one with the Y guards but I will stick with the fiber for my own personal use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbor Posted December 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Thanks for the input Big Time. I was talking to another crappie fisherman who used both the Y and the normal fiber and had a preference to the Y type. I have not really fish weedless crappie jigs but lost way to many jigs the last few outings. I take it you glue the Y type in after casting?

softworm Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 robbor, I've made them both ways, and with a wire, I like the seven strand wire better, its not as stiff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbor Posted January 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 the only weedless jigs I recall using were timber-rock jigs with 7 strand guard that is untwisted and I missed every fish:mad: and I dont normally miss fish. Im thinking of trying the Y guard or normal fiber modified a tad by taking a few strands out and spreading. But Ill probably try the Y first.

BigTimeBuzzer Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I pour mine in the heads. I have tried the glue and it seems to make things to stiff for me. I have made weedguards from the Y's/fiber/cable/single strand wire/large mono/and on and on. But alot of guys seem to like the Y's.....but that's my Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
