Hydro goo jigs RonDon inspired bigger is better!

[plateboater]

So I have been experimenting on the water this year with larger jigs. In Illinois you can spend a career on 1/16 oz. I am using more this year 1/4 and 1/8oz. Pic below is 1/8oz with a #1 hook. Been using a #1 more this year than ever before. RonDon continues to inspire me to move south!!!!

Thanks Stump....these do take a little more time to build the body profile but look good.

what is hydro goo? not familiar with that name.

Bucko.....google clear cure goo. Great product to put over material to get a solid coating. After applying you use a blacklight. Youtube has a couple videos. Nothing but good things to say about product

4lb mono backing....that is Barlow 1/64 tinsel or the smallest they have wrapped over the mono. Brush on the hydro goo and then UV light for about 30 to 45 seconds.
