Title: Adding a finish to your flat sided jigs
Post by: gstours on January 07, 2019, 03:53:26 PM
  As jigs are used many are lost butt a few may need refinishing.  Or some new diy jigs might be worthy of a custom touch.
       Heres a diy foil scale side that might be used.  See what you think?

Looks like a great way to make high quality custom lures.

A lot of my jigs are crudely just dipped in an oil paint and drip dry....on my Christmas list that Santa forgot to look at was a powder coat setup,  and a tiny airbrush setup......
   I,d like to put scales on a few jigs....  I haven't warned the fish 🐟 yet.

Butt Man, you have to be careful of what you post.  I heard the fish in Glacier Bay are trembling with fear since you posted this.   ::)  Dominick

Thanks for the advice.  The law enforcement people are always bored 😑 and over funding and too much coffee also fuels their 🔥.
  Every year I get boarded a couple of times.   My nose is so clean it hurts.   They just want to see fish up close to show people back in the big city 🌃...   I guess it's a necessary evil?
