rhahn427 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 I wanted to cast some jig heads today and cannot find my weed guard pin to make the weed guard holes while casting. Is there a nail I can get at my local hardware store that I can get today. Is so what is it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlaery Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) google says an 8D nail is .134" that might be a little big. maybe some 1/8" (.125") rod would be better Edited October 25, 2015 by dlaery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ipt Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) 1/8" wooden dowel has worked when i needed a pin to paint them. probably wouldnt hold up too well with lead though Edited November 2, 2015 by ipt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
