A tip or two if you pour some.....tie the body/tail before attatching the split ring and blade. They make tying troublesome. I have had the best luck in painting the heads by simply grabbing the swivel with a pair of needlenose pliers and swishing it through the powder paint. While the paint's still warm, run a wire (a straightened out hook with the barb cut off works well) through the eye. It will goo up a little, but in a minute or so it will be brittle and the jig eye will clean right out. Then I bake em and tie them. Last thing is attatching the ring and blade.

I order my swivels and split rings from Jann's. Quality and price seem to be better. Barlows blades work well.
