Crappie Hippie Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 When making a hook bend tail spin jig what do you all like to retain the swivel/blade array? Those Charlie Brewers Whirly Bee spinners have some sort of tubing it appears to me. When I make one using hand tied material I can make a thread bump. However I am looking for other ways to retain the array. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatman Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 It's a cheap bobber stop- You may have to squeeze the eye on the swivel a bit but after you put it on carefully thread the bobber stop on. OR use small heat shrink tubing, put it over the eyelet of the swivel shrink it and then slowly slide it on the hook. Either way is fine but have extra set up if you need to change your plastic.

jigmeister Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Just strip some plastic insulation off of an appropriate sized wire to use as a keeper . This was a tip I got from a guy who showed me how to make and fish " Matties" about a hundred years ago 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
