Very creative and innovative jigs JJ1! The swirl heads are so cool. Your ability to "fold over" the mallard flank feathers is impressive! Great looking jigs. I'll bet the crappie love them.

What makes the powder enamel so hard? Just mixing the colors?

I think it's multiple color layers that bind together during the baking process. I make deep cuts with the half hitch tool into the paint while head is hot, sometimes reheat a couple seconds before making the cuts and swirls. It looks nasty after I do it but once they are baked grooves fill in. I always start with a cold oven and outside layers heat and start moving before the inside layers. In my opinion the head is the most important part of the jig because it's what FISH see first. If they see the tail first it's already past them. Using multiple colors on a jig increases the probability of it being seen.

Another great tie. Showed it to my wife and she agreed but wondered why I couldn’t make my ties that nice.
