aarogb Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Did a search on this, couldn't find anything. This is a big problem in my Booyah jigs. I have tried using another hook, but I can't make a hole big enough for a Palomar knot to fit in. So what's your solution? Quote

Super User Fishing Rhino Posted August 13, 2009 Super User Posted August 13, 2009 Something to think about when removing the paint. Will the instrument you are using cause scratches or burrs on the metal of the eye? If it can, don't use it. Unless you want to lose a lure, or worse yet, a big fish. Quote

Run the tag end through the eye, make your loop on the other side and then run it back through the eye again. It's much easier. Quote

looking4structure Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 i crappie fish alot and i sometimes have this problem.(more so on the small 1/16-1/32 oz jig heads)I use the poker on the berkley line clippers Quote
aarogb Posted August 14, 2009 Author Posted August 14, 2009 Stop buying those garbage jigs and you won't have a problem. WHAT? These are the best jigs on the market!!! Are you for cereal? :-? Yup. Good quality hook, great colors, and durable paint coat on the jig head. The only bad thing about the paint is that they paint over the eye. Quote
aarogb Posted August 14, 2009 Author Posted August 14, 2009 Best? ;D Yup. Oh, I forgot to mention they have got a nice flowing skirt. ;D What do you like? Quote
NewAngler Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 I had this problem around the 4th of july and luckily had my jig heads and some sparklers sitting next to eachother. The metal ends of th sparklers worked great Quote
Super User RoLo Posted August 14, 2009 Super User Posted August 14, 2009 I told you once, I'll tell you one last time: "EYE POPPER" Cost about 2 bucks, you'd be a fool to play with a hook-point. Roger Quote
