Hey that's my tip and photo! Glad it's working out for you, I don't use teasers but that poly band keeps the gulp firmly on the jig hook.

Thanks Roger ! And I should add thanks to Capt Jerry C (Skippy) for the idea. It's great when we share knowledge and optimism And I'm glad teaser-less works for you, without the teaser I'd be fluke-less :-p

Haha Skippy was a big fan of my rubber band trick! I haven't fished with him since getting the kayak, but Jerry knows RB like the back of his hand and a riot to boot.

To the original topic, I go braid to floro to a small Kreh's loop knot to the jig. Haven't had to use heavier than 3/4 oz in RB yet.

I like the Pro-Tie skirts, once they get chewed up you can just pop on another. Change colors easily on the water.



This year I'm giving the biffle-head jigs a try on the larger grubs:

I mold a cable and hook into the jig head. Then attach the gulp grub down he cable and through the hook. It's a pain in the ass getting it on but once it's on it stays and gives the gulp a flexible backbone and some pretty bad ass action. I also use a UV Powder coat with silicone skirts which between the two seems to get more bites
