Elken Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I poured some Poison Tail jigs with 6/0 and 7/0 hooks. I glued the weedguards in, but with the bigger and longer hooks, the end of the weedguard is barely past the hook point. I need 1/8" FG30 weedguards in 2" length; all that I have are 1-3/4". I looked around at most of my suppliers and everyything I can find is 1-3/4". Are there 2" weedguards available without custom ordering?

cadman Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Steve, I have not seen any longer than 1-3/4". I know you can custom order them from Kyser Lure. Here are several options. Many of your push brooms, shop dust brushes and small sweep brushes are made the same way. Actually I have a guy looking into a broom company for me that would supply weedguards cheaper. The bristles on the bottom of many push brooms, is the same material we all use for weedguards. Anyway if you find one of these broom in the store, you can take out the whole bristle assembly, and it looks like a weedguard. I do know that they make push brooms with long nylon bristles. I did have some awhile ago, and I cut them down. If had some I would give them to you, but I don't. Sorry I can't be of further help.

Elken Posted May 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Ok, thanks for the reply. I will keep the homemade option in mind and I'm going to keep my eyes open for other options. I might be able to find some FG40 weedugards in the longer length and remove enough fibers to get it down to 1/8". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
