DaBehr Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Has anyone fished a swim jig with the new LureCraft York weedguards? Y guards where all the rage a number of years ago..and they do look nice on the bait. If you have....where would you rate them against a "standard" or heavy weedguard?

Jeff Hahn Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) I never liked the "Y" weedguards. They always seemed too stiff for my tastes. I prefer the standard bristle weedguard or wire. I have made jigs with both a bent wire weedguard like these: http://www.bbcboards.net/showthread.php?t=676111 (top pic), but not using this kind of jighead or the twin cable weedguard like the Stan Sloan jig: http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Zorro_Baits_Casting_Booza_Bug_Jig/descpage-SSZBCJ.html.

cadman Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 I also am not a fan of the plastic "Y" weedguard on any jig. Now as far as swim jigs go, I don't use a weedguard at all, if I do it is maybe 5 or 10 strands max to keep the fish from throwing the jig. There is really no need for a weedguard in this application. JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
