VersatileFuturian Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Can anyone tell me what gauge twisted wire is used in the Arky weedless tube jigheads found at Walmart? And where I can buy the wire? I am wanting to modify a tube head mold and put that wire in. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I have no knowledge of what Wally has. I make mine from 90# sevelon or surlon from Cabela's or Bass Pro. It is a coated cable and works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You definitely want to use stainless steel wire, and preferably coated like mentioned above. Edited November 7, 2012 by cadman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I do the same as jigman and cadman but.....If you want to buy them already made, go to lure parts online, they have a wire weedguard that is the same as I make with the surflon only they are already made up, I got them to see how they made them and it is close to what I make. Be careful if you go to buy them, it isn't the Do-it weedguards, it is their own weedguard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VersatileFuturian Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Thanks guys. Sounds like 90# Surflon is what I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
