Trailer Keeper on jigs

Does anyone add a trailer keeper to their jigs? What wire or material do you use?

Re: Trailer Keeper on jigs

I sometimes add a keeper to my spinnerbaits and buzzbaits. I use .015 SS Wire. Bend a loop on one end to go thru eye of hook and place in mold along bottom of hook. After pouring head, put approx. 130 degree bend in other end of wire. I usually wait till painting is complete and skirt is tied on. Good luck.

Re: Trailer Keeper on jigs

Last year, Kelly, a fellow member created a member submitted tutorial on "Screw Locks" that has helped a lot of members. If you're planning to pour your own jig heads, you may need to modify your molds a bit.

Good luck and tight lines
