Structure Jigs and Spoons

Been watching all the bass guys catching with Structure Spoons,lately.At $7.99 a pop,I think that I will try to make something that will do just as good.Here's what I am starting with.A 3/8 oz. Swim Jig with a 2/0 hook.A 1/4 oz. Swim Jig with a size 1 hook.A 1/8 oz. Swim Jig with a size 4 hook.I found 2 lead spoons that I'm going to paint like Gizzard Shad.The rest will resemble Threadfin Shad.I'll post pictures when I get them painted.Still have to figure out treble sizes for the two spoons.Keep your eyes out for these babies.

I tired something that might let you gett nice patterns on them with powder paint. Then I dipped it again without heat and wiped off the PP and cured again. I also lightly heated the jig and dipped and then used a nail to scrape off the paint to make stripes on it. I will see if I can find it to take a picture. Looks like crap because I just did it quick to see if would work so I know it has applications if one can perfect it.

I've never tried lead baits like that, But I know for sure that spoons catch fish,and those are close to spoons.... go figure!

I like the swimming jigs!!! My brother and sister in law, have been using them near the breakwalls for Rock Bass and do really well.

Like the green one.
