Thanks for this! Super helpful
You are welcome. Thanks for watching.
Your video's on pipe jigs have been very helpful as I prepare some for Puget's Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
I have seen all kinds of saltwater fish take them, even moderate-sized King Salmon, ( about 15 ibs.). Rockfish and Grey Cod, as well as Ling Cod and Halibut.
I've thought about building these before I watched you video. I'm thinking of putting pipe caps on the end. What's your opinion on that? Great video! Thanks
Pipe cap would be fine on the bottom - I have made some that way. But...you have the additional cost for the cap. Usually we are trying to be as cheap as possible ☺
Plus the lower cost doesn't hurt so bad when you hang up on the rocks and lose it :-) . But if you have lots of extra caps laying around, by all means use them. Put the pipe with cap on the bottom in a bucket of DRY sand. Then pour on the top. The sand will help dissipate the heat,will help keep the pipe in place while you pour the lead.
How did you connect ethe snap in the middle, where the hooks would attach to? Great video, thanks.
Hi. I assume you are talking about the cotter pin to swivel connection? I covered that in Part 1 of the video.

Use a stainless cotter pin and place the swivel on and use a slight bend in the cotter pin so its held in place. The lead will encase the pin and hold that in place.
To clean them up do they just wipe off, or are you using something like steel wool?
Steel wool, Scotch Brite pad and even sandpaper. The used indoor copper (from remodels) is not too bad. But in the video/thumbnail, you'll see my 3/4" old copper pipe that was pulled from under ground. It was really oxidized and dirty. That pipe will require a little more effort to clean up. Most of the 1/2" that I pulled from indoor (in wall) I'll just use it as is. They will fish fine with a little dull character to them.
Also, you can try using a vinegar/salt solution which will clean the copper. Depending on how oxidized your copper is, you'll have to let it soak longer. But be sure to rinse it off with clean water and even a little baking soda to neutralize the acid wash. A bucket with some clean water and baking soda will usually suffice and just put it in there.
Of course, do this before you put your hooks and split rings on 🙂
Thank you
