balazs I'm not fan of doing videos I see there a few you tube videos out there where they attempt to tie the puffball style jig but none are correct in what materials jig heads to use to tie the jigs with. I'm sure can make a short video tying both the silicone and the round rubber puffball jigs and Lions collar jigs.

Arkie head jigs with light weed guards Standup head jigs with or without light weed guards Viper head jigs I glue all my weed guards in before I tie my jigs and I never use any type of glue to secure the thread after tying my jigs. The way i tie my jigs glue is not necessary even when tying bucktail jigs. In the picture with the Lions collar jig the bucktail is lock in with the round rubber and silicone material and you cant pull the bucktail out at all. I will not fail.

Excellent colors and shape/designs! No doubt they would work for me with or without a trailer plus they give me an idea of adding my dog's coarse hair to rubber or silicone skirts. I use a rubber O-ring along with some thread tied a few times around for good measure, A few drops of glue complete the process.
The ones in the photos almost look weedless. Are they?

Only epoxy glue I use is when I glue my weed guard in the jigs heads. The 4 jigs in the picture have no weed guards but I fish them I all types of structure rock piles brush piles trees the jigs fish pretty weedless as i fish 4,6,8,10 lb maximum line. And use Yamamoto 4" & 5" twin tail grubs and 5" single tail grubs.

Maxima mono green line 4,6,8,10 all I ever fish I used to religiously use maxima because it doesn't break! Now i use sunline sniper, its more fragile and expensive but the casting and sensitivity make up for it.
