zx202guy Posted March 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 come on guys/gals, i saw jigs that advertised flourocarbon weedguards. somebody here has to know where to get them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ol_grayfeather Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 A friend of mine bought some jigs the other day with fluorocarbon weed guards. We were wondering the same thing. I couldn't find anything and the only thing I can think of is short strands of 40# test. It makes for pretty spendy weed guards that way.

donkjc2 Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 As far as i know, no one sell them. You could make your own with the 40 lb test as mentioned before. Just cut some short lengths and touch the end's to the side of a Lee's melting pot to secure them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WidowMaker Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Would the #40 lb test fluorocarbon be stiff enough to be user as a weed guard material??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dampeoples Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 I think in th short, inch or so lenghts, it would be, could also make two different grades of weedguard as well, stiff or soft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ol_grayfeather Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 I figured 40# from the diameter compared to the diameter of the regular weed guards... from the Barlows catolog.... FG30 1/8" dai. - 20 fibers of .024 dia. 1.75" long For the stiff weedguards. According to the line chart I used the .024 is 40# test. But the more I think of it... that weedguard material is probably stiffer than the fluoro..... guess I'll have to have my friend measure and count the fibers for me.

Cgraff Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Where was this jig bought, or what brand. I want to see this. Was it Made in Japan or here in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ol_grayfeather Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 He bought them online. I saw the video that was talking them up but don't remember the name. I'll ask him again, it'll be a few days, he's out of town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gat0r Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 IT's the Evolution Jig. It's at http://www.evolutionlures.com/ and it won best of show last year for hardbaits at ICAST. However I think they are like $10 for a 2 pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old man in the boat Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 I called Do-It last week and it was the first they had heard of it. I believe the jig was Japanese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
