Using epoxy

Using epoxy
the best way i have found to do this is if you powder paint your jig heads, bake them first. then if you use 1/8" weedguards take a 1/8" drill bit and drill the hole out. be careful doing this because the bit can go deep enough to hang on the hook and spin the jig hooking yourself. same for 5/32". then mix your epoxy and add a little powder paint color you are using to the epoxy and it will match great. then use a wooden clothes pin to snap on from the rear of the hook and it leaves a little v for the weedguard to lay in to hold it straight and also for a stand for the jig to remain upright. sounds like your weedguards coming off is from not getting them deep enough. i never have had a problem since i used this method. i also use the overnight devcon.
