After your done with a jig....reuse or trash?

[GreenEYESfromOHIO]

I was curious what you guys do when your done with a jig and go to switch.......let's say you fished with the jig a bit but no luck and want to swap colors and it's still in good shape. Do you put it back to reuse again or do you trash it? I find sometimes even though the bait is in good shape on the outside once you rig it once the wire keeper/collar of the jig kind of messes up the inside integrity and makes the next time you use the bait "not snug" when rigged. Wanted to hear your all's opinions.

I will put it back in the container if it still looks good. If I cut a jig head off to retie knot I will usually replace it. Since I fish around a lot wood. I end up pulling the jig free and bending the hook back to shape.

I always save my jigs for losing on brush another time......

I do let any hand tie jigs dry before putting back in a box.

soft plastics that is

On the soft plastics I usually cut the head off which leaves a smaller bait but new area to hook plastic to.

Locktite Super Glue Gel overcomes that for us, sits in the tray right next to Slabsauce and crappie nibbles.

Re use, I have been known to melt the lead of a broken hook and make another one...

I pitch them, I figure fishing time is valuable enough to use a few stingers per trip, not anything like the lifelike crankbaits that cost 25$ or more each. I don't move the boat to mess with a snag either, break it off, and tie a new one. I have fished in the big round rocks where if a fish doesn't get it first, it probably will only last one or two casts.
