Painting eyes on jigs?

**Brimfisher** · 06-10-2015, 05:22 PM

I hve been farting around with different paints to use on jig eyes, and was wondering what Y'all here use?

I still use stick one for now.

I use testers model paint. I let first coat dry overnight then put on second coat, let dry. Then hang in oven and cook at 175 for about 30 minutes.

Vinyl same as rest of jig head.

Holding them was a problem til I made this, works great and it's cheap. Holds about 30 jigs.

X2 on the model paint.

I've tried the vinyl and just hate having to thin it out all the time.

I cant say I have a paint preference, but I use
a nail head for the size eye that I want. Dip it
and dot the jig,or bait. LDS
