captpierre Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Anybody know of good weedless jig heads to put grubs or swim baits on for eyes on the Kawarthas? Some days bucktails don't do the job. Going to the Sportsman Show. Who sells them there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddler Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 Now don't laugh, but I use a small worm hook(ebay) and Texas rig my grub to be weedless just like a plastic worm. Depending on how much weight I need I pinch on a round earless splitshot up against the nose of the grub. Swims through just about anything and easy to rig. Cheap too. Got a huge pile of sunken logs( like a couple of acres) on the Spanish river that I throw this rig into. I rarely get hung up, pull a lot of walleye out of there. mud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddler Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 If you do a search for "39121 hook" on ebay there is a size 2(about 1.25 inches long) worm hook with free shipping from China for about $8 for a 100. That's the size that I use. The split shot (earless) I buy at Walmart in various sizes (depending on the depth and drop speed I want). The size 2 hook works real well on a 3 inch grub and size 0 splitshot is about 1/4 ounce or close to it. The other option is to find some Charlie Brewer slider jigs. They made for small 3-4 inch worms for crappie but are excellent weedless grub rigs too. I haven't bought them in years because I felt they were too expensive back then. That's when I switched to a worm hook and split shot....way cheaper. Good luck, Mud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 Got a pic of that set up Mud? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddler Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) Looks something like this one except I pinch on a splitshot. Same idea. http://www.kevinwakeman.com/rigweedless.htm Looks like the top one with a splitshot in front. This also works but it takes me too long to rig in the boat and thehooks are too expensive for me. mud Edited March 19, 2017 by muddler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 thanks mud, that's what I thought it would look like but I'm better with a pic. Those Owner and other brand hooks with the keeper can add up in cost too (2ns pic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manitoubass2 Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 I use those wide gap hooks and its worth it. I rarely loose any so I don't carry lots. A 5 pack usually lasts over a month, so at least to me, that affordable. I also use a rig like your muddler. Thanks for it's real thick I use a bullet weight. Works great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddler Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 OhioFisherman, thanks for the links but for some reason Chrome will not open them. Think i is the three dots in the middle (...) that does a change in the address. Can you put a plain text to the amazon link. That way I can just copy and paste it. Thanks, Mud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
