Nothing beats homemade.
My grandma, God rest her soul, taught me that.

How you put a jig on? Just like it looks? Push then twist?

[Slabprowler]

Yes sir ! Just slide it up on the hook and twist it up to the head

One question I have about the dental floss trick for those of you who use it... Let's say the tail on your plastic gets taken off and it's time for a new one. You remove the body of the plastic you currently had on but can you just apply more super glue to the existing floss and throw another plastic on? Do any of the remnants of the old plastic get stuck on there since it was super glued (thereby preventing another plastic to go on smoothly)? I hope that makes sense.

I can't answer that. Most of mine snag up before they tear up or off. The places I fish are really rocky and full of downed trees.
Hey if you don't ever snag up, you aren't really fishing.

Hey he's real informative. I wish more old timers shared their little tips and tricks. Most of these older fellas forgot more about fishing than we will ever know.
Plus the fellas in Richard Gene's YouTube comment are what brought me here.
