Like many anglers that use soft plastics and jigs, after a while they slide down - especially with
no-collar jigs which do the least damage. (I get mine from Ebay and Amazon). I discovered the
grub grip over 10 years ago and also use it on my skirted bass jigs with trailers (more on that later.) What you need:
Coated wire - the kind used for artificial flower arrangements) - can be bought anywhere.
24g is the best for most jig weights.
Pliers and wire cutters to tighten the wire under the eye tie.
1. Cut the wire as shown so that one end is near the curve of the hook but of equal length on both sides of the line tie:
2. Wrap the wire
once around tightly with the pliers:
3. Clip one part of the wire close:
4. Bend the remaining wire as shown. This will swing in and out of the plastic but holds no matter how many fish you catch:
5. ...and the wire
never affects the bite:
I use it for
all soft plastics rigged on jig heads.
