What do you do with old jig heads.

**keeferfish** · 05-17-2010, 07:50 AM

Cleaning out the old crappie tackle the other day got me thinking: I know that’s dangerous. I usually throw away old jig heads, ones that the paint is all chipped off, hooks bent and most likely not very sharp anymore.

It seems that I throw a bunch away now that I use braided line – I don’t lose as many but do tear them up.

What the heck do you guys do with them? Fix-em?

I cut the hook off and use them for weights. they work great when your drift fishing for walleye or crappie with a floating hook.

Jigs don't usually get old in my boat. They all wind up snagged in trees about 10 foot down.

Buzzy throws mine in the lake when I'm not looking so I have to buy more from him!:D

I put all mine in a jar and save them. When the bunny huggers finally get lead outlawed for fishing I will start making my own.

After I read his post, I'm now saving all mine for Apkape. He can take penny pinching to a whole new level

I did see Wal-Mart is carrying a non led product like from Eagle Claw. The price looks very comparable to the led weights.
