Nice job painting those jigs. Did you use a fluid bed to paint them?

 

I just started painting my own walleye jigs this year with a fluid bed. Using the fluid bed uses less paint & gives a nice even coat. I use a heat gun to get out any imperfections then put them in the toaster oven to cure them.

Greencoachdog,

 

What I found to be better than paint is a plastic dip on my jig heads. It NEVER chips off. Only problem is after dipping you must hang them for about 15 minutes and then go back and clean out the eye holes on the hooks with a bobkin or similar tool. The dip shrinks and takes form to what ever is dip into it.

 

Fishing rocks really chips off paint but the plastic dip is indestructible.

 

BTW nice looking jigs. They will catch many fishermen errrrrr walleye :)
