In my waters those are the best 3 to start with, I also really like the bright green. Lots of other color's work at times in different waters but as far as go to's you got em covered.
Those are the top three in my arsenal
I also use the same three for my main jigging sessions. I have also added hi-gloss black and
a hi-gloss bright or metallic blue jigheads for the waters that I fish frequently.
Looking good. I have been at it also.

Made a new multi cup fluid bed and love it.
You might want to try this. The chartreuse has to go first as it will not cover red or pink.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...991c64ebe2.jpg

Greg what is the cup bed? Multi colors?
Yes I put three different colors in it and paint till im done. I made it with coffee filters at first and didn't like the way it boiled the paint so I installed air stones in it and its much better. Sure make my paints last longer and no plugged eyes any more.Quote:

No more plugged up eyes to chip out and it uses a lot less paint. I will take some more pics how I made them and post them. You can also search on here fluid bed and it will pull up a lot of info. Google it and it will bring up some also.
They are easy to make I think I have about 40 dollars in it with the fish tank pump being the biggest cost. If anyone wants to make some let me know I have a lot of airstone left I would let ya have.
Thanks Greg just never seen that before. I should start pouring my own too.
So do suspend the air stones directly in the powder?

I think he needs to give a demo at camp this year.:biggrin
The air stone is epoxy into the bottom of the cup. Paint sits on top of it and air flows through stone via the air pump through a control valve so you can adjust flow.
I will post up pics tomorrow of it apart so you can see it in pieces.
x2 Never heard of this, sounds interesting.
I entered "fluid bed" and got a lot of stuff. But there are some links to YouTube stuff that are very informative. I'm gonna try this.

Air stone before trimming it to fit cup.

Parts are pvc pipe fittings in whatever size you want to make. They are a threaded cap for base a double threaded union and a threaded coupler. Then you will need a fish tank pump and valves.
Attach base to board then screw on the union and screw in cup once air stone is fitted in place. Drill hole for valve in base and attach valve. Add paint and adjust air flow till paint starts to boil.
Heat head and swipe quickly through paint.
I bought the stones on ebay they were for a large tank or goldfish pond. I trimmed them with a grinder to size. Note they are hollow so one stone made two cups.
I have 4 or 5 more stones if someone wants them I could either mail them or bring them to camp. Or if interested I could make you a bed for the price of the fittings you supply your own pump
