[QUOTE="senkosam, post: 496863, member: 24899"] I came up with this idea 10 years ago and won't use jigs & soft plastics without it. 1. floral arrangement wire in 2 gauges. One diameter for light jigs and smaller hooks, the other for larger hooks on heavier jigs. Example: 24g [ATTACH type="full" alt="1680576658921.png"]114150[/ATTACH] 2. wire cutters [ATTACH type="full" alt="1680576840904.png"]114151[/ATTACH] 3. Cut the length shown so that the wire is the same length before and after the line tie eye and one end is at the curve of the hook. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1680576940351.png"]114153[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1680577000587.png"]114154[/ATTACH] 4. Wrap one end once around the eye tie base leaving the other one straight. Cut one side close and bend with needle-nose pliers. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1680577015210.png"]114155[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1680577130647.png"]114156[/ATTACH] 5. Bend the remaining wire 90 degrees. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1680577176132.png"]114157[/ATTACH] 6. Rig your lure and swing the wire into the body. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1680577233728.png"]114158[/ATTACH] The grub holder never affects the bite. [ATTACH type="full" width="144px" alt="1680577371291.png"]114159[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="1680576840904.png"]114151[/ATTACH] I won't use jigs without the wire. Note: [B]don't buy jigs with collars [/B]used to secure baits. They put a hole in them. If I must buy collared jigs, I carefully cut them off by squashing them with pliers, cutting them near the head and then cutting them off parallel to the hook. [/QUOTE]
