Been Awhile

And thought I’d post something. Some 1/16 and 1/32 oz 90 degree modded batjigs. All dipped in UV seal-coat.

Very nice jig's as usual Travis. Your opinion on the UV.

Don’t know yet. Just got it and these are the 1st batch. My plastics all have UV so why not lead. Also I bake all my eyes on now. Molds like this that have inset eyes sometimes eyes don’t want to fully adhere to the head. The seal coat filled in the void nicely. Pill heads I don’t have problems with baking eyes on like the bat jig.

Was just wondering if you had tried it yet. Been contemplating getting some and trying it on my jig's. It sure can't hurt anything and this dingy water we fish over here it sure might help. The lakes I fish most of the time look like Eufaula south of 40 after a lot of rain.

Yeah lakes I fish are mostly muddy, stained and what not. I bought a 5 rpm motor off amazon for $11 that I’m going to make a jig drying rack. When I get it built I’ll post it up.

Been awhile doc! Great lookin' jigheads! Those colors just POP!
Gonna' have to start thinkin' about paintin' some jigheads with the
cooler weather just around the corner. Keep up the great work!

Thank ya. Yeah been awhile. We moved a few months back and finally got work bench complete not to mention I needed a break.

Are you saying that you bake your jigs with the eyes on in your oven? Seems like it would melt or discolor them. BTW real nice colors on those jigs.

Yes I bake my eyes on. No glue. I bake my jigheads that have eyes and/or fiberguards at 220 for 20 minutes. The eyes adhere to the paint and the paint comes out great as you can see in above pics. Some heads are harder than others. The batjig being one. Pill heads no problem.

"My plastics all have UV so why not lead"
What UV brand are you using?
Have been using DO-It and does show well under black light.

Yes I'm using Do-It. Bought a container years ago and think it's a lifetime supply as you only need the smallest amount. Talking like half of a BB to 4 oz. The 1st and 2nd pic is under black light with the 1st pic shows a non UV bait at the top left next to UV baits. The 3rd pic is UV enhanced baits right at sunset without black light.

Thank you for the 411.

Chartreuse is by far the 'brightest' color I have tried with the UV.
What other colors have you found that compare?

Haven’t really used black light much to tell. I put UV in all my colors with some more than others. Poured myself some Batjigs but in sizes I can use. 1/4 and 1/8 oz with 2/0 and 1/0 hooks.
