repairing jigs after used
do any of you guys repair jigs after they get used and worn and got lots of fish off them?i have done that before with one of my favorite jig color combo jigs after it got used and beat up and chenille got messed up.i guess i don't like to throw things away especialy if they work,or i can get them fixed or working again after some use LOL

If the jig is really still in great shape and am more likely to do that to a Roadrunner that I sent off to get plated. Usually we have so much wood in this lake I will lose it before that though.

Guess I have a little scotchman in me but I redo jigs all the time that have been torn up. I too will repaint and retie. With some of my older jigs I repaint with powder. Most of the time I will repaint with black or dark blue. Saves me some money.Lols But we are like Skip I lose more than get torn up. Offerings to the river and lake Gods.

i guess i don't only just fish with jigs.think i may have lost only 1 last year,thats all i can remember for now.maybe a year or 2 ago i lost a bit more jigs.i use power pro braided line on my poles,5 and 10 pound and its tough line with no stretch.if i get snagged on leaves or something like that i rip backwards and 9 times out of 10 i get a piece of broken tree branch back with my line and lure intact LOL.its like tree 0 me 1 hahaha.but if a pickerel gets hooked sometimes it will cut even power pro.thats how the one jig i remember got lost last year.also took the no knot hook snap i had the jig on too.i might have lost a few crankbaits last year,more than jigs.

i use nail paint for my jigs a lot,got a few dif containers of it.i did get 2 things of powder paint recently to experiment with.seems to take less time than the nail paints
