Thread: Daiwa Gekkabijin SW light jig heads w/ SS hook...

Thanks for sharing this

I have a bunch of the 0.5 g jigs in the glow color. I’m going to take some acetone to one this evening and see what happens.

Results time…

It didn’t quite take all the paint off. Some of the pink/orange around the eyes remain. Most of it came off though

I hung the jig by the hook on the rim of a shot glass into some acetone. Let it sit for 5 minutes before removing and wiping clean.

I let sit sit another 30 minutes in acetone then wiped with a q-tip. All the paint and the eyes came off.

Not sure it is worth it - especially if you care about the eyes on the jig head. It might be to some though.

Bison TM on what was a glow jig head.

Alright - the 0.5 g once glow jig head has been powder painted black. I think it worked really well - not going to bother putting eyes on it.

I need to dip the jig head a little more into the powder next time - but not bad for my first crack at it.

Does the glow heads affect your catch rate that much ?

I doubt it. The original poster has had plenty of success using the glow jig head.

I think a black jig head looks better with a couple of the trout magnets I use - so I thought I would try this.

Totally unnecessary - yes. But a fun little experiment nonetheless.
