Do-It Fiberguards Clear .018 100pk

The Do-It Fiberguards Clear .018 100pk is a bulk pack of individual nylon bristle guards designed to add realistic swimming action and profile customization to your molded soft-plastic lures. Each guard is made from nylon bristles fused together at the base, giving you a durable, lifelike appendage that catches water and triggers strikes from bass, pike, walleye, and other game fish. Whether you're a lure-building enthusiast looking to stock up or a serious crankbait and jig customizer, this 100-count pack offers the volume you need for a full season of experimentation and refinement.

The .018 size is sized to match a specific mold base diameter, so verify compatibility with your lure molds before ordering. These guards arrive extra-long by design—that's intentional. You trim them to length with simple scissors after molding to match your exact hook size and jig head profile. This approach lets a single pack work across multiple mold styles and hook configurations, eliminating the need to stock five different sizes for slightly different applications. The clear color blends seamlessly with most soft-plastic baits and UV-reactive paints, letting your color work shine without visible hardware.

Nylon bristle construction strikes the balance between stiffness and durability that serious custom lure builders expect. The fused base prevents fraying and holds up through multiple pours and trimmings. Whether you're building trophy-class swimbaits, compact finesse jigs, or anything in between, these guards give you the flexibility to dial in the exact look and action your local water demands.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if .018 is the right size for my molds?

The .018 diameter refers to the fused base that anchors the guard into your lure mold. Check the specifications or documentation of your specific mold to confirm the base diameter it requires. Ordering the wrong size will result in a poor fit—guards that fall out or don't seat properly—so double-check before purchasing.

Can I trim these guards with regular scissors?

Yes. The guards are supplied extra-long so you can trim them to the exact length you need after molding. Standard scissors work fine for cutting nylon bristles. Trim after the mold cures and you'll have a clean, custom fit for your specific hook or jig head configuration.

What colors do these guards work with?

The clear fiberguards are designed to work with any soft-plastic color or paint scheme. The transparency lets your base lure color and any custom paint or UV applications show through without a visible guard—the bristles blend naturally into the finished bait.

How many lures can I make with this 100-pack?

That depends on how many guards you use per lure and your total molding plans. A single lure typically uses one guard. With 100 in a pack, you have the volume for a full season of experimentation, re-molding, and custom builds without frequent reordering.
