Seeing all this crinkle paint got me thinking ,,,,why not try again,,, does it look okay? Will it work on those pesky crappie slabs? These are 1/8 oz new age minnow heads painted pearl white then sprinkled with silver crinkle over top before drying, then baked til crispy…lol
Looks great to me
From what I can tell they look good. :highfive
Looks great Andy.
Thanks guys,,,been a boring week,,, but I did manage to make some chicken Marsala last night which came out righteous,,,,can’t wait to make it again now,,,,
Sounds good if you leave the mushrooms out :puke
They look nice, I like them. I hardly ever dip into crinkle anymore. I get better results with crinkle applying it with a brush as the last color on the head.
I think those should work just fine.
Thanks guys,,,going to make a few more once my new molds come in soon, I hope,,,
New molds? :popcornQuote:

Yes, brush tapping. On a 1/16 head I typically put 3-4 colors on a head, 2-3 colors are applied by brush tapping. I focus most of the paint on the nose of the jig because when I hang my jigs on my racks with the heads up in oven as the heads heat up gravity starts the paint movement and swirling effect. Excess paint runs down the hook shank. I painted some yesterday where the paint ran all the way to the hook bend creating a ball when paint hardened, great for holding soft plastics.
I like em. My number one jig is a. Gray ghost and those heads would be the hot ticket. Nice work.
Seems like everybody loves that grey ghost,,,time for takeum to build a few
I’m not a purist either. Variations and additions keep ‘em interesting. Everything from plain Jane bland with no flash to some really flashy ones with a touch of another color. They’ve all worked at one time or another. Have fun with it, I feel like I’ve planted a seed.
Working on these right now skeet,,alittle black and chrome,,,
Chrome and black…. You making gray ghost pattern?
Sure,m why not,,,,think it works okay Dave?
Yup I think it would be awesome! Soon as you said chrome and black that’s the first thing I thought about…. Well that and you mentioned it earlier…lol
I used a white base first to keep the chrome from bleeding threw. Then tapped the black over top
Is that a custom mold? Doesn't look like a Do-it mold. Similar to some of my custom chub molds except the head profile on mine is longer and thinner.
Jim,,,it’s called a new age minnow…palmolds.com has them,,,,he calls it a Zed minnow,,,,
Doing the city garbage for a friend that's pretty sick. Took it to the dump and found a small bottle of fingernail polish full of sparkles so decided to try it out. Turned out the stuff is sparkles in some kind of clear coat but works pretty good! Went to town and got a few different bottles of nail polish and seem's to work alright painting plain jig heads. Coat or two of color then coat of sparkles and think they are gonna work. Need to get black somewhere to make eyes on them now. Having a hard time finding black!
