toadfrog Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Pinch them together and hit the end with a wood burner or solder iron . Pull out a couple strands before hand if the fit is tight . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAWJigs Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 I had this problem with some brush guards ... go to fishingskirts.com, theirs have a welded end, and I love them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 If you didn't cover the base hole before painting you will have problems with the fit, but I do notice that some tend to be on the tight side and for those I just pull some strands off but make sure you don't pull the strands off from the same spot, go all around until it fits.

Painter1 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Some of the guards just are not round. As Smalljaw said, just pick some strands off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBull Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 This is a extra step in glueing in weed guards but this is how I do it. I use DEV-2T for glue so before I mix it up I take and put on every weed guard a rubber skirt collar. This is put on the loose end. With my fingers roll it to as close to a perfect round circle as possible. This only takes a few seconds once you do a few and get a system down. So after you have the weed guards done you can mix your glue and your weed guards slide into the jig very easy and the skirt rubber makes it easier to spin the weed guard once in to fully spred glue in the hole. Put rubber skirt collar about 1 half inch from end. Have fun on the big pond today. STEVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bass100 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I do what Bassbull does but not for the weedguard instal but instead for storage. I cut skirt collars in half and then put them on the weedguards after they have been put in the jig. It keeps the weedguards straight and any weedguards that aren't straight will be after a little time in storage. Every jig I pull out to complete an order will have perfectly straight weedguards with no stray strands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
