Got mine too - excellent job everyone - I had alot of fun making mine and even more opening up the envelope to see everyone's creations!

I agree with profile/size - but if you are trying to balance a jig with a specific float, the weight is critical....

I think Len's numbers are right - there are about 28 grams in 1 ounce...

I really like that white head - can you tell me what color/brand that is? Looks like a pearl white?

Mine went out in the mail today!

One of the most classic of all ice fishing baits. A #2 or #3 with a 3 inch dropper line of 4lb fluoro, tipped with spikes or waxies makes a killer whitefish and cisco jigging bait!!

very similar to the ' Wolf River Rig' that many river fishermen in teh midwest use for jigging walleyes. Good rig, and great illustration!

What was your mix ratio? I can get a nice speckled gray by mixing white and black in a 1:1 ratio...

Mine should be in the mail within a day or two as well. Probably nothing new to anyone here, but they are fishy!

Thill shy bite or mini shy bite are really great - otherwise google Drennan or Blackbird (I think it's Blackbird?) for the european style floats. Drennan makes some really nice ones, but I really...

I use both methods listed above, and both work well! The rubber handled eye cleaner PBUG uses is really good!

Cool - I didn't sign up for the last one, felt 'too new' to tying - but I'll give this one a shot. Sign me up!!

Ok thanks - I've heard that's a nice yak, I haven't been able to see one up close though!

Sooner - what model yak is that? I like the look of that compartment!

Wow Skip - that pic is a LOT better than mine! Thanks for posting - my digital cam, even on Macro mode, doesn't do so well.

I still have a bunch of this paint - at least 3 lbs. If you want...

Even better than MEK would be acetone - that stuff will take the paint off of anything! I keep a little glass jar of it on my workbench, and if I mess up the powder on a jig, I let it cool down and...

Those are great - where do you get the jelly bodies from?

I use a heat gun, I like the clean dry heat better than anything else - been painting ice fishing jigs for several years that way.

Hey, I just did that the other day too! Thumbs Up

I like them - are they Crazy's heads? I just got some from him yesterday - they are sweet. Where did you get your eyes?

Competition? She's already better than me :-) I have to catch up!!

I agree - time to get out there and get some fish.

Oh - that's not blue, it's a really bad picture of the silver jigs! LOL!

Anyone who would like some, PM me if I haven't PM'ed you already - I can certainly get you less than 1lb. I want to get this stuff off my workbench :-)

I'm so proud!!Hands Clapping

This is my 11 year old daughter Rachel's first tied jig. She's learned how to powder paint, and now she's tying. One jig and she's already better than I am!! Thumbs...

Erik - when I send out your ice jig samples I'll throw in some powder paint too (I'll put it in a little baggie first!) I have some basic colors that are good to mess around with and you can see...

I received the mirror chrome powder via FEDEX today - arrived nicely packaged in perfect shape. This is new powder, not reclaimed I'm positive. I coated and cured 4 jigs right away so I could get...

I will be testing and posting samples as soon as I get it!!

Thanks rev - I'm new here and not looking to be a trouble maker (although my wife might accuse me of that from time to time....) Did a little more research, believe this is a DOW brand paint. ...

Ok, so I was on a popular auction site last night and up popped an auction for 5lbs of High Gloss Mirror Chrome, fully bonded metallic powder paint. Had a buy it now price for ridiculously low, so I...

They always taste better when you catch 'em :-) Congrats on a nice first fish - now go out and get some more!
