I use a push pin.
I have always made my own tool for cleaning the paint out of a jig eye. My question is are the ones you can buy from Bass Pro worth having? I have never tried one.

My diy method is a sewing needle retracted into a mechanical pencil. Never really thought of a push pin
Sometimes just use another jig hook and push it through

I've got one of those you buy, but still use the hook point of another jig most of the time .... and if that's not close at hand, I just use my pocket knife

There'a a tool called a Bodkin that is used when tying jigs and flies. It's basically a needle in a handle that's about 6 inches long. I heat it over a flame and push it through as it melts everything in it's way. Cleanest and easiest method I know of, but it does take a little fore thought. From what's been said so far, I like the push pin idea myself. One of the cool things about powder painting my own is that they don't get painted in the first place.
Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
I usually use another jig hook but I like the push pin idea.
Yes, as a matter of fact, I do have a retirement plan...FISHING!
