Jigs NY style...

[Saddle Tramp]

I'm impressed too !! New member here that was searching for high quality crappie and perch jigs. I stumbled across this thread and I have to say, those are the best looking paint jobs I've ever seen on a jig head.
How do you finish your jig heads so they look like the color is molded in and so glossy ? They look too nice to use but would sure dress up anyones tackle box :D

Thanks for sharing !

hey crppie kid you tie some good lookin jigs looks as if though you might be winding a bit fast i seen a couple with some of the thread out of whack a bit......Anyhow im gonna work on a video to show a way to help fix that problem.....when i get in hurry i still do it and i found a really cool way to fix it. Any on the hair i would switch to calf tail it will cut down a little of the action...but the rise and fall will be slower and we all know that thet falling of jig is what really sets them specks off. send me a PM i can hook you up with a guy who has a zillion kip tails in some pretty good colors.

Crappie Kid. Can those painted jig heads be purchased from your friend ? Every time I look at your jig pictures, all I keep thinking is that I have to have some of those jig heads to tie my patterns on. Man they're sweet !

Thanks

The jig heads look like they are dipped in vinyl paint and then when dry, and eyes put on, they are dipped in a clear vinyl coating which will give it the shine. You don't want to do this in the house as it stinks to high heaven. Pop
