Thread: OPINION's WANTED: Found a new hole that EATS JIGS

I use 1/32oz & 1/16oz weedless jigheads ... both of which have a #2 Aberdeen hook. I don't normally lose that many jigs in a dozen or more trips. My jigheads are custom made by Grousefly and are the fiber brush style & the Y guard style :

Where can you get them? Thanks.

Use braid!

There is a way to rig a Baby Shad plastic weedless up on a jig that works pretty well.

I’m a combo, what BarryG said I use braid.
Pappy says brush guard, and that’s what I use everyday.

some stuff really eats jigs , braid helps , weedless jigs as well .
i often use a fat body plastic with very little hook point out of it and put a nibble on to make it weedless

Thank you all for the responses!

Do you guys notice any difference in strike vs hookup % using the brushguards? I tried them several years ago and seemed like my hookup rate went down. May have been in my head though.

I hadn't considered going with braid. Is there such an animal as high-viz braid?

Yes!
