Made a weedless jig. Thoughts?

Let me know what you all think, if theres any way i could improve it next time im all ears, well eyes in this case 😆. I used a cheap jig but if its good i may make them with sickle hooks

What pound mono did you use? I know Richard Gene suggest around 40# but I was thinking heavier. Gonna make some of these myself if I ever go somewhere to get the mono....lol.

They look good.

I used some 50lb i had sitting around.

Let us know how they work for you. Been wanting to make some since I saw his video but keep forgetting to buy the mono.

I would try and angle the mono a little closer to the hook point. When you drag that jig over a small branch, the jig will turn on its side (or upside down) from the weight of the hook and that much gap may allow the branch to get "inside" the guard/hook point & cause you to hang-up.

I bought some 50 lb to try this myself. Looks good to me!

[SuperDave336]

You guys try this out and let me know if it works good before I buy my mono.....lol.

Will do dave. I plan on getting out this weekend. I had some mono i got on sale for some jug lines. Cheap is what does it haha

So heres my 2 cents on my doing. Same setup as the richard gene video. Bit i ised 50lb mono i dunno what brand, im in bed and not getting oit to look BUT!!!!!!!! Dave you said you had thought about using heavier than the 40 he used. I say no!!! The weedless worked grrrrrreat as tony thentiger says but a 100% weedless jig is junk if it has a horrible hookup ratio and thats what i ran into. I kept getting bites from sand bass and could not set the hook. I eventually had enough and trimmed it back to maybe weedless and infinally got one. And lost more and cut it off completely and from there i hooked every one that was interested. I dont have 40lb mono so im going to try the 20lb i have and see how that does but ide say the man knows what hes talking about using 40lb. The jig for hangups was awesome. I got wild with a cast and got it in a willow and came through the mess awesome. And plenty of brush sunken. Weve had alot of rain so keystone is still high so it works but ide go 40lb maybe lower?
