Hey if any of you guys want to know how to finish a knot around you jig eye, I have mastered it!! :-)
Lets see what you got
:popcorn
Ha. Which knot?
Knot to finish off a jig???? Shoot man, when you ready to tie off with the knot, just run some super glue about 1/2 inch down the thread then wrap that. It will stick real good, not come undone either. I don't know any knots....HaHaHa.:dono

A good whip finish will not slip! Also you will never find a hard spot on my jigs where glue is placed!
I've tied 2 now that I've managed to loop the eye once. My first one (which Bobo immediatly slapped the back of my hand with a ruler), and then one I had planned on sending in the swap. It is a flou pink and hot pink thread. I didn't even see it until I was doing a final inspection of the jig before bagging. Oh well, it'll stay in my jig box and I'll do another one. I'm down to 5 jigs plus one for the Miester, so' Im in good shape
What I should have said instead of slipping is, it still draws up when you tighten it.Quote:
