Would love to see you use these jigs in your next video. As far as your idea of using a pen cap to make a squid jig. Brilliant, thanks for sharing.

LoL. I've got a few of these I made for trolling for mahi-mahi. My wife has standing orders not to throw away this style of pen. I'd recommend using it as a trolling lure and use a tandem hook set up with a loop eye in both ends of the wire. Give the wire a kink ini the middle or barrel wrap it well into the pen cap before pouring in the resin. Then attach your swivel and hook set with split rings. If you don't want to use a trebel hook then use a tandem hook set-up which will get you a hook up close to the jig and at the end if the skirt. To make a tandem hook set just open the eye slightly of a long shank 5/0 hook and insert a second hook then close the eye to lock it in with the hooks both facing down, not offset up and down, although actually I guess you could try it offset . You can see how to set up a tandem hook on South Florida Saltwater Fishing.

Use rubber tubing to control the hook swing on the original This technique is used in fly fishing with tube flies

Put a little piece of heat shrink over the split ring. I love tat lure, it would work very well for our mackerel to start with.

This lure has a lot of influence from Japan and China written all over it! I've been watching a ton of videos where they are making lures out of plastic squids and octopuses and that was how your video came up!

Now thats cool...you could even put a willow blade on the wire that stuck out when bending the loop for the line tie. As always well done.
@n6yun4 жыл бұрын
Your idea of having a swinging Hook is a great idea you can even use a swivel this way the fish won't use the hook against you in make it come loose in the fight by twisting the hook like a lever but when using a circle hook never swing, when you get bit always let the fish swim away from you and pull drag out when he pulls the drag out you'll know that he's hooked can't wait to build a couple to use on a ganyon for bottom fish

Instead if wire try a shelled hook made of heavy mono or floro . You could then rig them in tandem so kind rigid but have some movement. A deep water light would be cool. May try plastic squid body inside with a bit. In salmon fishing there are clear plastic “bullets” that may work similar without the pen top. Very cool lure!

Wouldn’t mind seeing a small piece of glow stick inside the cap, for some night jigging underneath a bridge or dock. Rad stuff EA.

I was thinking of adding glow in the dark powder to the resin..then you just hit it with the light of a good flashlight and you can keep it glowing all night.

The biggest problem on the first jig was the Circle hook (At least that is what it looks like).. Just putting another type hook without the circle bend would help substantially. That is a really cool jig and would crossover for river Salmon fishing among other things. Well Done/

Your problem is that is a circle hook and a circle hook you never set the hook all you do is let the fish take the hook and run with it he will hook himself 90% in the corner of the mouth when it turns to get away, it's good for deep water fish and tuna and halibut, how about trying a chemical light insert for the deep water drops
