BD1 Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Do-It Arky Weedless Jig Mold Flat Eye Hook Model - 1 Mold Model what hook & weed guard do u like to use for the 1/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 If you are referring to the ARK-3-AFC Do-It mold, then I like a Mustad #32798, 3/0 round bend hook in the 1/4 oz cavity. I don't know what you mean by the weedguard questions, but I rarely use weedguards with my jigs. If I do I will use 5-7 light strand guards. I find full, medium or heavy weedguards hamper hooksets. Just my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking Dead Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Think about using big mono, weed eater string: clear or colors. Might be what you are looking for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 I use clear weed eater string, and it works. I even drill a hole and use it to make my spinnerbait to swimjig heads weedless, so I can throw them up into the tules and grass. I make these when a spinnerbait has been used so often, and caught so many fish, that I think the wire is tired and weak at the R bend. I clip the wire at the R bend, make a loop near the head, and then put the loop into a vise and use a pair of vise grips to twist the tag end back around the shaft toward the head. Even one+ twists is enough to make a solid bait, but I usually try for at least two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Guys, remember, this is someone who isn't experienced and is asking a question about the hooks and weed guards used. The hooks used for that mold are the Mustad 32798, the Eagle Claw 2798BP, Owner 5326 (4/0 only), VMC 7218 (3/0 and 4/0), Trokar TK825, Gamakatsu 614, and possibly the Mustad 38109. The weed guard used is the FG-30 which is 1/8" in diameter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
