Wire for Football Jigs

Recommended Posts

Looking for some input on wire weed guards for 3/8-7/16 oz. round head and 1/2-3/4 oz. football jigs. I have poured a few .024 3 braid pre-made guards. I'm not sure but, they seem to be too short for my 4/0 hooks. Don't mind cutting my own to get the right fit. What is the right fit? Any suggestions on type of wire and size would be much appreciated. Would rather cut my own. Live on a deep clear lake, lots of deep brush piles.

Thanks.

You can not bake the jig with the Surflon in.  What I do is use a heat gun heat the head enough to get paint to stick then heat some more until glossy.  I don’t mind if it chips a bit.  I did 4 dozen shaky heads today.  It may not be your thing but it works for me and has for 20 years.
