Painter1 Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 What gauge wire is best for tying jig skirts? I tie with 210 thread but want to finish with the wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21xdc Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 20-24 gauge copper. 22 is best I think. 2 wraps only. Pull tight before twisting. Don't twist to do the tightening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 (edited) I use 24, and lay the 1" twisted tag end back along the hook to act as a bait keeper. Edited March 24 by mark poulson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 I like the pliability of 24-26 ga myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkin Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 22 works best for regular silicone, 24 for fine cut. Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
