JRammit Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Where does one find the right tool for trimming the excess lead off ones jig heads?... I've been using regular wire cutters... Now all my jig heads have mohawks.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robalo01 Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I take the normal wire cutters and file them down. They are super sharp and last forever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
