multi colored powder painted jigs

[Jiggin_Joe]

I think the fish would like the looks of them they look pretty realistic to a minnow and with some scented plastics I bet they would do very well. Great job!!!

Thnx JSC

Haven't talked with cadman in awhile - need to get him over here.

Give him a note ... by the way ask him about the powder paint that he is passing out ... I think he would enjoy this forum as well.

OK guys, here I am. I just received an e-mail from JSC today about this site. Hopefully I will be able to help some of you guys out with powder painting.

Hey JSC, you guys are going to keep me too busy answering questions about powder painting, instead of making jigs.

Thanks for the welcome. Just bear with me while I try to find my way around here. I noticed a lot of questions regarding multi-color and powder painting. Some guys here I know very well, Ledhed, JSC, and some of you I will hope to get to know, by passing along some of my powder painting knowledge. I have been pouring and painting jigs going on about 7 years. The last 4 or so I've dedicated my self to powder painting. I currently have a powder painting tutorial, that I am willing to let you guys read, if you PM me your e-mails. Just don't overwhelm me. I'll get to everyone that is interested. I'll also answer any and all questions regarding powder painting and multi-color powder painting. You may want to ask why multi-color powder painting. Led Hed and I and some others have been doing this for quite awhile. Making multi-color jigs brings you to the next level of powder painting if that's what you want. I'm not forcing anyone to do this. If you want fabulous looking jigs, then multi-color is in the direction you should be going. I also have a fluid bed tutorial, that came about from learning how to build one from LedHed. He showed me all the components, and I put it down on paper. If anyone is interested, you can PM me, and I will get back to you.

Guys & Gals Get those Tutorials (SP) from Cadman.
He really puts it in a way that even I can understand.
I printed them out and have them in my shop notebook for quick reference.

“is the fancy painting for the fish or the fisherman?” Neither, I do it for me because it’s something challenging to do and the only reason the pics are posted here is to demonstrate that there are alternative painting methods to use with PP.

I am confused with the term “fancy painting” - I think it’s more about shades than color. What the pics don’t show is the holographic glitters mixed in with the paints or the translucent overlays on the darker upper shades. Not necessarily “fancy painting” but adding more attractants to the lure. It’s pretty much the same reason why all the different body materials, different reacting tail materials are used for the jig. If it’s done for the body – why not for the head?

These jigs were made to blend in with plastic swimbaits. Except the bass pattern – somebody wanted to know if it could be done.

You can do a lot of stuff with those heads..

Not saying they don't look good, because they do. I guess looking at it from my spot tying so many jigs it would take me forever to paint a bunch like that.

No doubt a good job by you doing the paint work with these!

Thnx - and totally agree - the technique is not for volume tiers...
