  1. I just seen on Barlow's tackle that Mustad has a wacky hook out for this do-it mold. They are Mustad Wacky Hook #428399 (size #1 only). Thought everyone would like to know in case they needed some quickly that are in stock.
  2. Thanks for all the suggestions and comments. I painted and glued about 75 football head jigs this weekend and started using the devcon epoxy, I like it much better for the weedgaurds. It's cleans up better and it doesn't leave a white residue on the jig head if you get a little on the paint. Also wanna thank Cadman for the Fluid bed plans, can't believe the difference it makes.
  3. Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions. I am sure it will help a lot.
  4. I am using Super glue gel (loctite). There is some paint in the holes and I use a 1/8" drill bit to clean them out a bit before i put the weedgaurd in, mostly they fit pretty snug, but the smaller jig heads are the ones I seem to have the problems with the most.
  5. I am new to the site and jig making. I have made about 50 jigs now and I am having a problem with the weed guards. I pour the heads with the pin in, then powder paint the heads and cure them like I have read about on here. When I put the weedguard in with super glue gel, I get a white discoloration around the weedguard on the paint. Am I using too much glue, but seems like when I don't use enough some of the weedguards will pop out after drying. Thanks for you help!
