Any type or # test can now be used on the jig because IF it does slide around the tie, it will be prevented from entering the gap by the other knot.

    I eliminated that problem years ago. All the jig heads I use have a completely closed eye.

    Well while one can’t find them now I have about a years supply left….maybe more. If by that time the supply chain has not gotten back to normal I’ll have to use something else. I am always on the lookout for a replacement and have some new ones on the way now to see if they will do. If not I’ll try another….it’s a journey I enjoy.
