My first home made bead jig
I can't tie, but, I can super glue.
This jig is 1/16 oz super lite wire with collar. I purchased some pony beads at the dolla store for the "bead body". The pony bead is just rite size hole to slide over the collar.
First, I slide the bead over the hook. Then I use waterproof super glue and dab it on the hook collar and let stand 10 minutes. Then I go pee.
After the break, I slide the marabou thru the bead then push the bead onto the collar as far as i can and let the glue set up.
After the glue sets up, I trim the excess marabou.
I don't really know how long to leave the marabou tail (past the hook).
My jig vice is a hemostat clamp which is clamped in my pcb board vice.
Cheap operation.
