at st.croix.boy that is one good looking jig for I am guessing steel head maybe carp "mulberry's"?? I don't think I would change the body if I had the extra time I would add dots to the head with some rod finish and auto air color pigment paint that's not thinned for air brush use. or even nail polish "I mean male polish sorry" like a blue or even a lavender type color that matches the body.. all you need to do the dots is a match stick or tooth pick real simple... looks good no matter if you don't like the white head or not it still looks real dang good!!!
I'm betting finger lakes smallies would like that jig drug around as well. Lookin' good St Croix
boondox, thanks a million for the encouragement and advice. This style of jig is VERY effective, but I like playing with color patterns as much as possible. I've got a buddy who has an air brush and uses it a lot. It's probably my next addition once cash flow opens up a bit. I think I'm going to try a dark blue on my next batch. If you can, could you PM me where I can get the air color paint not for air brush use? I did a quick google search and only came up with the stuff that's thinned for air brush. Tight lines, SCB
St croix boy,you are looking for paint but not airbrush,have you tried powder,no smell ,alot of colors available and I think a nice finish as wellpowder is the way to go for jig heads ,curing them in a toaster oven @275 for 20 minutes
Yep I use lots of pro-tec powder...have about 15 on hand now...was curious about this non airbrush stuff
Materials are everywhere. Rg
