I am kinda new to this forum.Been here a couple of days.I love it.I started pour my own lead jids a few years ago.I am disabled,well sorta.i have two prostetic legs,but can walk just fine.I fish almost every weekend.So,I have time to make a lot of jigs.lol.I want to know some things that you jig makers have learned.The one thing right now is,"How to powder paint a large 5 oz flutter jig,it is about 5" long.Can't seem to get it right.Thanks in advance.
Go to the jigmaking and tying section. Great bunch of guys with all kinds of info.
One of your best bets would be to send cadman a message and get some good advice. He powder paints spinner baits and unless you have a specially designed fluid bed it won't fit.
I'd say if you're gonna be making alot of those to get directions from cad on how to build a fluid bed and then SUPER SIZE it!!!! You'd need to buy powder in bulk with the size fluid bed you'd need, but again he can give you the best advice on powdering a long item like that.

Yes, definitely get in on the Jig Tying section. You even still have time to sign up for the current Jig Swap #7, it's fun, check out the thread. Tying jigs is addicting that's for sure and lot of fun. Plus, catching Crappie on the jigs you tie is very rewarding.
What you need to do is send me about a dozen of each size and color of the jigs heads that you make and I will let you what you need to do to improve them.
I will not charge you for this service. What a deal I'm making for you.
