Quick take

A compact cleaning tool for removing debris from jig eye holes to maintain lure performance.

The Danielson JEC is a pocket-sized tool for clearing paint out of the eye of a painted jig head so your line or knot passes through cleanly. Its pointed tip pushes through the blockage, and a twist cleans the inside of the eye. The vinyl-coated grip and lanyard hole make it easy to keep on a vest or tackle bag for pouring and tying jigs.
