Octopus Jigs

nice baits! i'm going to order a couple. thanks!

here's a picture of my homemade octopus slow fall jig.



 

Ho do you attach all of the worms to the lead head?  Looks good and I would like to something like that but have not figured out how to keep it all together.

Theyre basically attached to a hub like a tinker toy. mend-it, CA glue, hot knife will stick the worms on.
gave a few of the smaller 1.5oz size to a friend and he said trigger fish rip the arms into shreds so if youre using them in tropical waters just know that theyll get thrashed.




This one is for red crab swarms.


aand another lighter tone.


hope that helps.
Next month I'm planning to make a top pour sil mold with thicker arms, going to lay in sheetrock tape in the center with saltwater 60/40 make the baits tough, one piece and much less tear-able
so we'll see how that works out.
good luck
