I make bass jigs using a Hilts mold that requires a fiber weedguard. These cost about 6 or 7 cents apiece. I found (on the Hilts website) that I could buy a bundle (about 240) for about the same price as 100 finished ones. <br /><br />When I called the company, the man who owns the company (a relatively new buyer) said that they have not been able to figure out how to cut the bundles to length without messing them up. The former owner died (I think that is what he said) and wasn't able to tell them how to cut the bundles.<br /><br />Does anyone out there know how to do this? If so, then maybe we can pass the info on to Hilts Mold Company and get the weedguards cheaper! <br /><br />He said they have tried using hot wires - they melted the fibers, snippers (they don't cut it uniformly enough, and other techniques.<br /><br />Thanks for your ideas.
