Looks like good preparation for better:fish weather.
After powder coating are they like jigs? Not sure I know why you powder coat hooks. But, I figured you would tell me since you have helped me a dozen times before.

What is that you have rigged up with the powder in it? It's a fluid bed I'm guessing but I'm trying to figure out how you have it rigged up.
Neat! I would like to see a picture of the hooks after you paint them. Sorry just looked again and I see them on the stands to the left. That's neat and the fish are liable to hit them without a bait on the hook.:ThumbsUp
