Weedguard stiffness

[The Next KVD]

I was wondering how stiff of a weedguard most of u put into bass jig molds such as the Poison Tail? I'm currently using med. stiffness (.021) but was wondering if the  heavy  stiffness (.024) weedguards work better. thanx

This is really a personal question, or an application question, perhaps. The larger the weedguard strand diameter, obviously the stiffer, if you are having problems getting hung up in brush or what not, this is a good choice, the stiffer fibers take more effort to bend back.

Fishing relatively open areas, grass, rocks, or not so brushy brush, the smaller diameter is more forgiving. The bonus is that both styles can be trimmed down to suit a situation, but one thing to remember is that you can't put them back once you thin a guard out!!

I use the .018 that barlows sells.  I'd rather lose a few mor jigs then a few nice bass.
