Alligator Clip

Powder painting pill head underspins. Have done the dip the swivel in the water, Worked alright.

Don't like the aluminum foil, not gonna do heat shrink!

Ran across a thread on the www. someone was using alligator clips :scratchhead. Picked up some cheap clips. Took the Dremel too them and cut the tiniest notch. Just so the hook can fit & the teeth close on the clips..

Heat jighead in hand and grab swivel with the clips, Dip in paint. Worked like a champ!

Great idea and great looking!

Great idea. Where do you get the glue on eyes?

Wow, I just did the mod on the clips and your idea works great. Thanks for the idea.

JigJunkie, I add a little touch of super glue before putting eyes on...

Magged Out, when I first saw your jigs I wondered why in the world you'd go with a pill head. Then I saw the picture with the eyes. I love it! Looks awesome.

There's gotta be something similar that you could do on the hook eye too.

Instead of holding jighead by hook or clamp to heat use 45 degree needle nose pliers to hold eye of hook when heating. This is how I heat my heads and prevents the eye from getting hot enough for paint to adhere to. After head heats don’t dip in paint with pliers or pliers get paint all over them. Simply hold head by hook when dipping in paint.
