Hi,
I got myself the FB-4H-AFM weedless football mixed hooked mold the other day which generally speaking I am very happy with. I get along well with the teflon pins and the painting and everything. Problem ist that I find the FG 30 weedguards I bought with it to be a bit heavy for targeting yellow perch. While european perch seems to be a bit bigger and more aggressive than north american ones and readyly take large crawfish patterns, they are not exactly green carp. Totally unfamiliar with FG-calibration, I wonder what weed guard to use and wether or not they will fit my mold. My first idea is to use FG 12. Those should be a bit weaker? :huh: will they somehow fit into the 1/8th hole? I found the FG30 a bit thick for glueing in anyhow. They barely fitted without pulling some strands. I need a fool-proof production solution though but don`t know weed guard basics. BTW I have an engraving machine and could modify a regular mold into a light weedguard one, but that would be a day worth of work with uncertain outcome which I would rather get around somehow - not to mention the problem of getting my hands on matching base holder pins.
