    Default Experiment with promise


    Still early trying this new idea but it seems to have promise so far so I thought maybe others would like to try. The idea is to keep little fish from sucking the plastic down off the jig head and cause me to have to reset it frequently. I'm using a little dental rubber band. I'll see if I can take a picture of it.Attachment 357296

    I tried that super glue and it works good but I seem to find this a better solution for me. It makes it easier to change colors on the water for me

    That’s a fine idea but where do you get those tiny rubbers?

    Super Duper idea John, I've got plenty of those small ones made for hair around here. They should work as well.

    Looks like the smaller the better. The ones I'm trying are 1/4 to 3/16 in diameter

    I use this tool and put the rubber band over the plastic jig head.
