    As to the paints, we always like to tie some on a bare head, but don't like em as well once they oxidize. I found a Pro tec paint called Pearl Pepper that looks real good and is very close to the bare head. He also sells one called baitfish that is clear with a fine glitter that will also do the same thing. The pearl looks awesome as a second coat over pink and flame orange. I can't describe it, but maybe I can show a pic when I get home. Started with the brush tapping thing too and that opens up a bunch of doors too. I pour mine too so I got lots to practice on.

    I did a little brush-tapping but my results were much less consistent than I expected. Now I'm looking for an extremely fine mesh screen to make a "sifter". If you've ever seen how a sifter spreads powdered sugar on a baked desert you'll understand the idea. It releases the powder very evenly and where you want it.

    I figure I can form the mesh into a 1/4" cup and sift it right over the powder paint bottle.

    Well don't feel bad as I just pour over a 100 heads yesterday and have tied up over 12 dozen in the last week. I am now up to 18 jig boxes. At least 10 of them with the same pattern but different size and heads. I give away more than I ever fish so it is no big deal. A great hobby to occupy my time. Better than chasing pretty girls and a lot cheaper to.

    As far as my favorite color of powder paint. Well that's tuff this week it was Galaxy Black But I seem to have three others that I keep reordering on a regular basis. Copper vain, Neon Pink, Chartreuse Green. Must admit that I have a drawer fill with Powder paint but these four color are the ones that I seem to be my go to colors.

    Favorite color is Copperhead. Works for dozens of patterns and make an awesome spinner blade color.

    As for the extra on top of extra jigs, fish a little more and get into those spots where you know there are fish but have been afraid to go lose jigs.
    I love taking my kids fishing, now if I could just manage to fish at the same time.
