    Re: jig making help

    Smuckey41- You can use a paper clip to clean out the pour spout. The large size is what works best for me. Just unfold it and leave one end bent at 90 degrees to insert into the spout to "wiggle"...

    Re: BPS Microlite Rod 9'6

    IMO, you are better off waiting until after you add your reel of choice to see if additional weight is needed. You are bobber watching, not finesse jig fishing. The "perfect" balance is not extremely...

    Re: Lexan, how do you cut it?

    I just cut it with the bandsaw or scroll saw (safer). Leave the paper/film coating on to trace the design you want, cut outside the line, then sand to the line and remove the protective film.

    Re: Which mold for FnF?

    Do-It makes a minnowhead mold that is perfect. The model is: JM-8-1632. It has four 1/32 and four 1/16 ounce heads. You could also use a roundball mold in these weights as well, or an aspirin head if...

    RE: f.n.f jig molds
