Enjoyed your video. I will definitely try setting up my jigs as you have demonstrated in this video. I Am brand spanking new to jig fishing. I am basically a finesse fishing when using plastic worms Texas Rig or wacky rig and Ned rig. Those are my confident go2faith. My new friend The Jig is very fastly becoming a new confident rig for me. I appreciate your down-to-earth attitude the end of Comedy you throw in from time to time. Keep them fishing.
Awesome tip!!… Thank You, Sir… Started fishing Arkie Jigs back in 70’s n forever been told to thin n trim weed guards… But I always figgered it was there to help so leave it there!!… Again, Thank You
You sir are a legend. Your one of the greats that keep this sport moving forward. You have made it better for all of us . What's amazing is you didnt sell out to do it either. Thanks so much for all you do
I’ve been tying mine at the base similar to that to stiffen them a little. Also you can cut a few short and they help to make it stiffer when you tie it
GMan for the weed guard, you can use a piece of electrical heat shrink tubing It comes in a bunch of colors if you wanted to match the weed guard. All you need is a pocket touch lighter to shrink it down. You can even double up on it if you wanted to. I use it for my cheater hooks and when I run a blade on the back of my jigs.
Instant sub, as a jig fisherman I don't know why I haven't followed you before...funny and I learned something, my two favorite qualities in a TH-cam video.
Ive wondered if you and welcher ever been around ech other both you guys put out gr8 vids and alwsome vibes. I keeping a rubber band on my arm for a bit no etch and sketch on the boat as i dont have room lol.
Hahaha, well goddamn. GMan, I've used heat shrink tubing to stiffen the weed guards up for years now. I thought i was the only secret genius. DAMMIT MAN!
Thanks man your Secret is safe with me only problem is I don’t get on the water enough to hang my jigs LOL But that day is coming working man is got’a work , got’a feed those kiddos. You remind me of a framing fella l used to work for back in high school, straight to the point, fast talk’en southern man and you better be listening because he ain’t gon’a say it twice lol
I do basically the same thing when I make my jigs. Just with out the tubing. When I’m epoxying in the weed guard I dip it in about 1/2” into the epoxy and get off the excess and glue it in. It does basically the same thing by stiffening up the bottom of the weed guard. But this is a great idea for those “on the water fixes”. You’re the best G-Man! PMA all day!!!!
Nice trick dude that's pretty slick hope to see u on Saturday at the Harris Chain did you see Brian latimers trick he just put out put a t spot in your weight on your punching rig so the weight won't slide back down and knock your hook out of the fish
I mean. I know you said don’t tell anybody and then you told everybody. But.... I’m really glad you told everybody. That s#%t works man. I thought this was looney at first
My guy, too funny! “Thing I like bout super glue when it sticks too your fingers gives you something to do when fish ain’t bitin” hahah. Solid advice!🤙🏼
G I can't believe I'm saying this. I have used a coffee straw and covered the weed guard to make it stiffer for very heavy cover plus it also put the coffee sent in the water.
You should see him in person!! He got his boat stuck WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY back in no man's land on the Sabine one year,he went in on plane and the tide went out on him while he was fishing,lol about 30 Miles in the woods..he eventually made it back to the ramp,and looked like a chocolate glazed donut 🍩 when he got back!!I guess hopping out with Gators and Gars,and Grinnell and hogs pulling his boat out,lol jeez you should have heard those jokes!!!
Great stuff G.. I like using shrink tube myself. Get the shrink ratio of 2 to 1.. you can get the smaller sizes at your local auto parts and they come in many colors.. have a great season y'all. 🙏🙏🤙

No doubt.
Maybe...but A-Mart was pretty funny too. And Zona too.
Did this years ago with a piece of self adhesive shrink tube. Works!
that tip is BALLLLIN OUT
Fantastic!
Ive wondered if you and welcher ever been around ech other both you guys put out gr8 vids and alwsome vibes. I keeping a rubber band on my arm for a bit no etch and sketch on the boat as i dont have room lol.
Innovation often comes from desperation on the water ive learned as well
Love your videos lol
You are definitely the G Man!!!👍🏼👍🏼
YOU FUNNY...GREAT VID!
A black piece of heat shrink tubing would work as well
Hahaha, well goddamn. GMan, I've used heat shrink tubing to stiffen the weed guards up for years now. I thought i was the only secret genius. DAMMIT MAN!
Awesome stuff

Dang that's some fine engineering. all great things come from necessity
Good one i will use that
Swindle is the man. Can learn a lot from him.
I owe you a Solid. Peace out G.
Thanks G
Good stuff, brother. Appreciate you for giving this advice.
You r the best
Getald is a super funny southern fisherman lol
Genius! I wonder if a skirt collar would work? 🤔
Thanks. Confidence in the tactics is everything
GMAN. your the man!!!!!
GERALD YOU ARE SUCH A HOOT I COULD LISTEN TO YOU ALL DAY YOUVE GOT TO DO MORE OF THIS FOR TH-cam
G-Man what about a piece of electrical heat srink? You can heat it and doubble it up if you need it thicker?
Shout out Kyle. Pretty cool!
Just use heat shrink! Works like a champ
Awesome!

Awesome! Thanks Gerald 🙌
Full Credit........👍
I mean. I know you said don’t tell anybody and then you told everybody. But.... I’m really glad you told everybody. That s#%t works man. I thought this was looney at first
Shrink tubing works too. Careful when shrinking obviously. A necessary hack for flipping reeds in FL 👍
G I've been using super glue without using that plastic piece works great but thanks for new tip
So the super glue work? I was thinking that too
Dude.......great hack..... to fish with the G man would be my at the top of my bucket list
Lol good to know thanks
Ever thought about using Heat Shrink?
G man always thinking about what he needs from a bait to make it work better !.And he delivers information in a funny way we all can relate with.
You can do the same thing with a skirt collar.
My guy, too funny! “Thing I like bout super glue when it sticks too your fingers gives you something to do when fish ain’t bitin” hahah. Solid advice!🤙🏼
Must be nice to be a fisherman for a living, you deserve it G man
Shhhh your secrets safe with me🤫
G I can't believe I'm saying this. I have used a coffee straw and covered the weed guard to make it stiffer for very heavy cover plus it also put the coffee sent in the water.
Black shrink wrap. Easier/quicker and same result.
genius
“Youscrewb” a damned poet right there son
You should see him in person!!
He got his boat stuck WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY back in no man's land on the Sabine one year,he went in on plane and the tide went out on him while he was fishing,lol about 30 Miles in the woods..he eventually made it back to the ramp,and looked like a chocolate glazed donut 🍩 when he got back!!I guess hopping out with Gators and Gars,and Grinnell and hogs pulling his boat out,lol jeez you should have heard those jokes!!!
