powerworm Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 there is only 1 company in USA that makes them he is in IL i believe its kayser lures or tackle. you have to have a business license and tax number to buy from him if i am thinking of the right guy. if not he charges you the 10% excise tax and sales tax.

Munkin Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Weedguards come in only a couple of standard sizes. If you are using 1/8 just check the usual Janns etc. for the stiff or heavy weedguards. They are about 25% stiffer than the standard guards and I only use them for flippin jigs in heavy cover.

Gloomisman Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Thanks guys. Yeah I'm using the stiffest one right now that pretty much every one else sells. I was just looking for something a tad stiffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkin Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Did you give the stiff 5/32" ones a try? They are the stiffest ones made that I know of? Otherwise try contacting Kayser lurehttp://kayserlures.com/products.html they own the patent for weedguards and make most of them for the fishing industry.

Gloomisman Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 I ordered another mold to modify it to hold 5/32 wg. This might cure my problem. I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenlures Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Did you ever consider cutting a plastic broom up. I tried it and it worked, although I only made a few to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
