What does the tool look like that's used to pull the wire weedguards through a tube? I can't find a picture of one anywhere. thanks

I was looking for that myself awhile ago until I found an easy way to rig my tubes using a weedless jighead. I take an ordinary roofing nail and heat the end with a lighter and use it to make a slit in the tube and insert the jighead through it, once it's rigged up I use the heated nail tip to "weld" the slit closed, works pretty good and it doesn't take long after you do it once or twice.

Hmm, that's a good idea. That'd also keep you from having to re-tie all the time.

I use the same technique Smalljaw... those roofing nails do heat up quick...Now I can make the story of this technique a little better saying I learned this from a well known Smallie Fishermen in Tennessee instead of just stumbling onto it myself....Folks are always impressed as the further the person giving the advice lives from you the bigger the expert he becomes...



Hoot never lies about the size of the fish caught but always reserves the right to create legends and tell stories that are a little on the edge..

Hoot, It's good to see you on the new site. I have been watching for you, but missed your "Welcome" I'm gonna have to go look for it. Don't feel right if I don't get to "welcome" You back.
