I have started painted some that I use myself with paint sticks. Still testing them right now but I do like the way they are coming out. Was told about using the paint sticks by another tyer that uses them.
I use the 3D when someone wants eyes but the cost keeps going up so looking for a way to keep cost down. I have not seen any difference in using eyes but I never seen a blind bait fish either so... LOL who knows. They sure do make a jig pretty..
