DIY Project Finished

Hi ya folk’s,

First of all I soaked the HUB jig-heads in a 409 for a week and then I soaked them in other degreasers
I tried to use a nylon brush but it got all gummed up with some gluey substance that they use to lubricate the Owner jig heads when they slip their jigs into their HUB tube bodies.

I talked to GT about my brush gumming up, he told me that he had cleaned some as well using a brass bristled brush with some good results ......

So ...... I soon after went to Home Depot and I purchased myself some brass bristled brush’s and started to go-to-town scrubbing on the 124 HUB /Owner jig heads that you see in front of you in the pic.
I scrubbed, washed, dried, coated hook wire with fine oil, Super-glued missing eyes on all the jig heads except for one.
Can you find it?
After I finished gluing eyes on I coated the entire jig-head and wire and hook again with fine oil, for it’s storage and in order to keep the hook points sharp.

All I’ll need to do now for a while ... is to just buy replacement HUB tube bodies!

Don’t dismiss any shine and or glares for an eyeball.

LUAH??

Found it as well Dan! Can I have all those heads now?

lol what else do we have to do right now

I have found a new way of cleaning the jig heads, I use a knife. I stumbled upon it when I needed to clean around the eye of the hook. I was pulling the knife away from the eye and noticed the shinny lead. So I decided to scrape all of the jig head with the blade being slightly perpendicular, being careful not to scrape the eye off. Most of the jig heads are poorly poured, having bumps and valleys in them. By using the knife I could smooth the surface, allowing the jig replacement to slide on without to much effort. I did a few with Procure on a q-tip, pushing the q-tip into the tube and lubricating it. I will see if their will be any reaction between the tube material and the lead jig.
I also found if I put the lead jig in a vise, clamping the hook in the jaws of the vise I had both hands to work the tube on without much difficulty. Note make sure hook tip is hidden inside of vise jaws, ouch........GT
