Jwnfishing Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Ok new to the page. Sure there is a topic on here some where but the search is awful on this page lol. I would like to know how to make the Weedless Arkie mold into a screw lock bait keeper. Similar to Andy Montgomery’s skipping jig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadman Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Exactly what Jigman suggested. Buy the screwlocks with the clip on one end. Clip the screwlock onto the hook shank, and align the screwlock with the weedguard hole. Stick a drill into the screwlock, close mold, pour. remove jig and remove drill bit.

Jwnfishing Posted December 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Sorry I guess didn’t describe what I want very good. Keep the weed guard but instead of regular bait keep on the shank of the hook I want to be able to add a screw lock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I powder coat and cure. This will lock it to the jig head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
