try using a peice of 300lb mono or less (about 8 in) depending on hook size and pinchig it end to end forming a u or tear drop then attach it below the hook eye with 1 minute epoxy and a couple of wraps of light mono. after the epoxy kicks then lightly heat the weed guard with a hair dyer or flame to curve it upward so that it blocks weeds from hitting the hook. I use hard mono for the weed guard because of it stiff qualities I also try to down size to spro aussie style swivels to deter any snags and I do away whith the snaps an go to just the swivel if I am in heavy weeds. this really helps get those hard strikes form those big mahis and cobes that lurk in the weeds. but eventually you will get in the weeds
