    Default foiled blades work


    Awhile back I played around using foil on small blades. Been fishing for CNBGs and they seem to like them...

    eBay - look for nail foil or nail decals;

    all kinds of stuff and it's cheap - did some UL spoons with the foil

    these are decals - had problems with them lifting (probably didn't let dry long enough) applying a clear coat

    I order the "glue" on eBay also. Dangerous road to travel - glitters - UV stuff...… Anything you can do with nails is applicable to jig art.

    Those are just smooth. Like the rainbow colored one in the pic, trout colors I think.
    Creativity is just intelligence fooling around

    thnx Tim - need to invest more time into the foiling. Didn't think it would be as robust but seems to be working out pretty good. That rainbow mix caught some nice fish.
