    Jig Eyelet

    A while back I asked about how to keep powder coat out of the jig eyelets when I make my shaky heads. I just poured some and used small heat shrink tubing over the eye. Works pretty good. Not 100% perfect but it probably cuts my time in half. Thanks for the suggestion guys. I appreciate it.

    I used to use heat shrink. Switched to silicone tubing and havent looked back. Easier and reuseable!

    I'm using a 32798 Mustad hook and I had some heat shrink tubing left in a kit I had. Now my conundrum is what size do I need when I order. I'm thinking 1/16 but I'm not 100% sure.
