ParkerFly 8 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Ready to start dropping titanium double weedguards in my jigs and finesse heads. What lb. test/diameter are people using for this? I use 60lb. and 90lb. surflon leader material currently for weedguards, for reference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smalljaw 645 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 60lb Surflon is .032" in diameter and the 90lb is .048" in diameter so use the similar diameter titanium wire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ParkerFly 8 Posted January 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Seems like maybe the titanium single strand will be stiffer than the braided surflon, so wondering if I should go down a bit... It's expensive stuff to experiment with and get wrong. I've read of a couple guys on here using 40-50lb. titanium wire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mark poulson 2,315 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I use .065 weed wacker replacement string for my weed guards, and to make my chatterbaits and swimjigs weedless, too. I try to get the clear 5 sided string replacement spools. I get them from Ace Hdwe. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
