Weed guards

[JUNGLE JIM 1]

Not being able to fish due to bad weather has been driving me crazy and so I modified a few of my molds to take a weed guard. Not a fan of the bristle guards so have been on the single wire kick.  I do want to go to a double wire guard but the pre made wire guards are expensive, especially if using two per jig.. Looking to start making my own but was looking for some ideas about wire diameter, type of wire, etc. before I start. Anyone have some ideas that they are willing to share with me?  Here are a few of the jigs that I made in the last couple days. 1/8 and 3/16 teardrop and tip up head.

Those are some awesome looking jigs there sir.  I'd think some stout piano wire might do the trick?  Not sure how it would hold up though.

I have used everything from some very thin braided wire to 1 strand of fiber weed guard to coated stranded cable depending on the weight of the jig and how it is going to be used.  The thing that I use most is Sevelon or Surflon that I get through Bass Pro or Cabela's.  It comes in lots of sizes.  I prefer 90# coated like is in this pic of a tube with weed guard.
