I thought this would be a fun project for some night fishing. In some pictures it looks green but the color is aqua. With about 20mins under uv light it last about 5-6 hours in my basic shop testing.

Thank you everyone for the kind works.

Took me about 3 hours with the cure time of the resin. I plan to experment with more colors and different side plates.

forgive my ignorance, cuz i cant really tell from the pics, but is that a custom epoxy side ring, or a laminate over the original metal ring,,,,
Either way a very cool idea, bet all the night shark and catfish hunters are drooling ;D

I trimmed the corner off the stock side plate. Filled with epoxy and then machined it to the shape I wanted.
Used the stock jigmaster chrome ring.  The side plate is stock Dimensions.
