Nice looking jigs Skip! I have a question about the black light pics....do they show what a jig looks like underwater? Or just a different method of taking pics?
Nice skip very nice
The Black light show what humans can't see. Fish can see UV colors and FLO colors different then we do since they can see UV. I can't tell you exactly what they see, but they have more cones and rods it their eyes than we do so they see many more shades of color than we do. Also in crystal clear water regular colors will only penetrate so far then become something else. Example is the colors that can be seen farther than any other is Blue and Violet which will go about 40 feet. Now UV colors will penetrate the same wearer something like 700 feet. I have read and looked this stuff up for years and some old articles I can't find any longer, but other are there and new ones come. All credible articles clearly spell out how UV & FLO colors do something different than regular colors. The only way we humans can even show something different is by using aBlack light which will make these kind of colors glow. Let me find an order I have sent out that I have a pic of that will have some of these colors and some regular colors which don't do anything in the Black light.
Well I have better ones, but not ready to post so this will still show what I mean. Notice the bottom right jig you can't even tell what color it is and the rest light up like crazy because they are all Fluorescent. Glad I looked again, also all the top left jigs you can't see the head color because it's also not UV or FLO.

I have another example I did for someone. Here is a 1/32 Oz. Jig head I painted Silver, then I coated it with some UV stuff and here are pictures of it after coated in regular light and then Black Light.

Skip that is really cool picture of the jig head. Will have to experiment as I am back to almost 100% powder paint. The jigs are nicely done my only question is what happened to the jig with the neon pink head??

There you go, raising the bar again. great lookin jigs. Here lately where I fish the natural colors are working extra good, and the bright colors aren't doing as well for me. Been kinda slow mostly, but that will change in a few weeks.
Thanks guys,Quote:
