Matt Janes Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 My wife and I have been using the Berkley Gulp 4" Minnows with great success this year. One major problem we've been having is that they start sliding down the jig head 4 or 5 casts (sometimes less) after rigging them up. Does anyone have any advice on how we could rig them differently to keep them on the jig head better or a different way of rigging them with a hook and weight? Thanks, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Janes Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I have heard this before somewhere and I didn't know there was any truth to it. Sounds like the most economical solution. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickingfrog Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I find some of the plastics (gulp) really need a different jig head. The jig heads with more of a wire "keeper" barb works better then a more traditional jig head as shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Yep, I like the wire "keepers" too. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigdritchie Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Count me among the Crazy Glue group. Works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 The gulp product shown will split almost every time you put it on the style of jig shown. Crazy glue doesn't really work in this case. Now if you use glue on this type of jig... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I like the Kalins jig heads for plastics. Pretty much the same as what's posted above. Once the plastic splits, they're toast. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishindevil Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Ya like the guys said above !!! I use crazy glue all the time but for gulp products it doesn't work well so for sure change your jig heads !!!! There are so many styles now with different wire keepers and even owner hooks have twist lock springs on them for grubs and worms !!!! You can use shaky head jigs too they have small screw in springs to hold the grub/minnow in place !!!! Years ago we used to use small pieces of tubing off blackbird floats to keep bait in place ... Gotta experiment and try different jig head combos and crazy glue it's pretty easy to do ....hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bailey Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 One caution to remember with Krazy Glue, and all cyanoacrylates: water accelerates the curing, so try to make sure your fingers are dry. Not easy to do when fishing, but do your best. The advantage is that you don't need to wait for the glue to dry, just chuck it into the water immediately and it sets faster than if you wait.

Dave Bailey Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 I didn't know that! It's something you learn from being a plastic modeler. Some guys hold the parts together and spit on them to speed it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioFisherman Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 http://www.gophertackle.com/mushroomjig.html These jigheads worked well for me on most plastics and it was nice to have some hook options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappieperchhunter Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 I don't like the gulp baits because they are too soft. But I use finesse plastics from lunker city. They make there own jigheads for there plastics too. The collar of the jighead is threaded like a screw and the fish never ever pull them off. I end up tearing a badly chewed up body off and replacing it with a new body before the fish tears it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
