sdsaw Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 FG-30 fiberguards (1/8") What strand diameter are you guys using? I've been using the .021 diameter only I'm thinking that it depends on the jighead weight that I want to go lighter or heavier? For my 1/2oz heads, the .021 seems to be a little stiff. Thinner strands or trim some strands from the .021? Thanks, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerworm Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 where are you getting your weedguards? i know barlows list the different diameters as the littler the number the more flexible it will be. i buy all of mine from the only company making them in the US as they are close and good friends also. but i have to buy like i am a big guy 5000 at a time and they make mine all .120 so if there is a little paint in the hole it is still going in!!

Real Deal Custom Tackle Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 footballs and finesse jigs i use the 0.021's unless lighter is requested. I use the 0.024's for flippin jigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 All of the jigs I make or sell use a 15 strand .018 or .021 weedguard. Many guys by us like the weedguard very flexible, myself included. I used to use a full weedguard and found later on that my hookup percentages were much better with a more flexible weedguard. However I've seen many guys use full stiff weedguards as well. I guess it depends on what you are used to fishing. There is really no right or wrong way, personal preferance I guess.
