Well I did another 50+ and did okay on them. Nothing I won't make a jig out of and fish but not exactly what I want either. Gonna have to figure out how to put eye spots on with powder paint once I get sprinkling down. I really want to make stripes and lines and real dots as well as sprinkles so I have a lot to learn.
Oh and if anyone was wondering, lead free jig heads do just fine with a candle. I did a dozen of them and cured them at 275* for 30 minutes. I did deform 5 of the jigs over the candle but I left them way too long and touched the flame so it was my fault.
I love taking my kids fishing, now if I could just manage to fish at the same time.
