biggamefish Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Hey guys I'm trying to build my first umbrella rig, I want to know what size wires do guys use on a typical 5 wire rig with 1/4 to 3/16oz swim jig heads and 4-5" swimbaits? .040 or .050? I don't like the very flimsy wires as they tend to get twisted up too easily, I like a bit more stout wires but still have some flex. Also I'm planning to put willow blades on them as wel and I am wondering where can I find the willow blades and the little tube that slides over the wires that the blades is connected to??

Jig Man Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I used to make my own but decided to get some preformed wire from Battlefield Wire Products. Theirs are cheap and way better than any of the wires that I had used. I'm not sure what little tubes you mean. You need some clevises for the blades and maybe some beads. Check out Jann's, Barlow's, Ztackle, etc. for that stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggamefish Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Thanks for ur response jig man, the tube I was referring to are call swivel sleeves, I found some on lureparts but don't know what size I would need to make a correct fit over the wires, maybe I might have to give them a call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
