I'm looking to try out some weedless heads. Do you guys know where I can get some that work well for tying and keep from losing so many in the brush? I never have liked the thought of using weedless but I'm going through a pile of jigs some days. Thanks
Send a PM to Grousefly, and ask him which version of his weedless jigs he would rather use to tie. I know he ties some, when ordered, but says they're a pain to do :RoflQuote:

He makes many different styles of weedless jigs, and can custom make them to most anyone's specifications (as far as weedguard & hook color, hook size, etc). Here's a pic of some :

I have tried several styles and like the toothbrush bristle type best. Grousefly made the ones I have now and Bugman also made some for me that did very well.
Thanks fellows. I'll give grousefly a shout. It does look like it may be a pain to tie around that weedguard but I'll give it a try.
Is why I don't tie one weedless heads. Have been ask, but didn't ever feel what I would charge to do that would be reasonable. Just think it's more of a pain that I am willing to do. even for my self, just don't do it, but that is just me too.Quote:

Some heads will allow you to add the fiber bristle guards after the painting/tying is done. I know some larger heads will allow this, but the small ones might balk if you can't keep the thread off the hole. I think a hair/feather jig with a good hackle is as weedless as the guards make them.
