Squid jig weight adding with lead wire

Photobucket

When extra weight is required on a squid jig, when eging at a strong current or wanting to get the jig go deeper more quickly, try wrapping some lead wire around the front weight of a jig. It will help to increase the weight of the jig and sink faster.


You can find the above lead wire in one of the local tackle shops here. Few months back they were selling it at $2.40 per pack and was OFS for awhile. Finally the new stock are in but at a higher price this time at $3.80.


Actually you can also use the soldering wire that you can find at most of the hardware shops around you, basically i think they are the samething lol they serve the same purpose. From the help of ibr i got this tube of soldering wire for $2.
