dchance Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Does anybody use anything other than fiber weedguards? I have a couple jigs that are no names homemade that have color matching plastic type material (one "pin") as the weedguard epoxied in. what are other options?

Jig Man Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I use vinyl coated steel leader in 90#. It is called Sevalon or Surflon depending on where I get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchance Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 what kind of diameter does that have? I am looking for use on bass jigs. probably not quite a typical 1/8 hole but not like a wire guard either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchance Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Like trimmer line, but colored, like brown and black etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 The plastic "Y" weedguards used to be poplular and I've tried, they did reduce hang ups but also hook ups too. I believe Lure craft now makes them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking for use on bass jigs. probably not quite a typical 1/8 hole but not like a wire guard either. I don't know the diameter but it comes in lots of different # tests. Janns or Barlows may list the diameter of theres. I have the guys at Bass Pro order it in for me. I use it in tube inserts from 1/8 to 3/8 oz and in my 1/8 oz poison tail jigs.

Dark Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 What about heavy flourocarbon. Say 100 lb test saltwater leader material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
