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

You could try drilling a small hole in the part where you cut off the pocket clip and add a trailer hook with a split ring

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.

nice build for the hooks i suggest to use regular short shank hooks never use circle hooks on skirts and so

the idea to fill the cavity with resin is so prfect, an attention to detail. Thumb up.

A J hook or a treble would help with hook sets

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!

Sir.i love fishing in the Philippines I am watching from jeddah thank sharing this vedio.

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.

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

So very nice.. Good idea

The red frog eyes look perfect

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.

Super cool try shrimp look too

Add Krinkle Flash to your flash materials pal..

How about moving the hook further up into to the lure, maybe using a long shank hook. Making the hook itself more rigid and hook setting in the fishes mouth.

Nice friend..already done

Great idea! They look the goods. I reckon a inline hook could work well, no offset and very short Kevlar it would move with the flasher hair/silicon as well ;)

i like it realy easy thing to do got one question that vibrator you use on powdercoating there can i get one

Great bait. Youll have to try flashabou or some magnum flashabou. Its alot like tinsel but alittle wider. It might not be strong enough to hold up through several bites though.

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/

Maybe use a treble hook😉 thanks for sharing your creations always fun and informative, nice to watch 👍🏼😁

Maybe use a treble hook 😉 thanks for sharing your creations, always fun and informative! 😁

very nice...god job sir.👍

Excellent man

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

Thank you for sharing the idea great Lure

Please do a catch report on it. Please...

Ok

Good thank you so much 👍

Thank you sir for sharing!

Try to use treble hooks

Maybe 1 size up in hook size, keep it fixed, trim ur skirt length back some(about 1/2"-1")that's why ur getting short strikes

Nix the circle hook and go offset for the swinging hook. First time being first comment! Man I am pathetic. But seriously I would try a different hook style.

Try to use straight open hook instead of that life saver one

Hello sir can you give a lure....

Hi my friend, I'm Luca, italian who is living in Thailand, I already mind you with many questions, may you remember me. What's your name? Sorry if I ask, I'm going to open a new my YT channel series about building lures. I ask your name cause I would like to give credit to you and your channel in many ways, tell who you're, about your channel, telling that you're inspired me, etc. Thanks so much!

Hi Franco, where did you buy the snail pliers thank you

What brand of pen has that big of a cap

Where can one get those pen caps from

Use assist hooks

Definitely DO NOT drill or using the circular dremel saw like he has, unless you like drilling hole sin your fingers or cutting your fingers off. Put the pen top in a vice not your fingers ;)
