I was asked to put a few pictures of how I tune my stoppers and my jigs in a 2 liter plastic bottle. Well here are a few.

This first is a picture of stopper and jig in bottle.


This next is a picture of a stopper from the store( on rght) and a tuned stopper for a 1/16oz black and chat. jig. By the way this bait is what I use 95% of the time.


This next is a tuned and balanced jig on a snapswivel. The next next is an untuned and balanced jig, Different type jig head on a snapswivel. See the difference in the way it sets in the water.



The next two or three pictures are tied with different knots, but it is the same jig.



The first knot is improved clinched knot. The second is surgeon's knot, and the third is the Trilene knot. I am asking you'll if a tuned and balanced jig is tied on any knot or swivel if it should hang horizonal.

I hope this will solve a few questions, and give the 2 liter bottle a try and have faith that your rig is ready for the task.
Good fishing all and be carefull on the 4th of July holiday.
