Pour and tyed some jigs, just want to show them... I have gotten alot of ideas from this site, so I wanted to show results. Pics are not that good, will take somemore later, these are two toned, not really able to show the blend of color laying flat on counter, will try to get better pics from vise
Great job - what kind of paint?
These are painted with a fluid bed and air brushed with powder paint, for the added color. the top is green with blue blown in, bottom is gold with red blown in. I paint the eyes with enamel paint, I use a cut q-tip and tooth pick for pupil...
Looks good.
Nice lookin spinners FF
Looks good I've got 50 of them and have tied 2. I've got to get on the ball.good job

rockintats88 - one thing I'd do on the heads not the tie is take a really thin bladed sharp knife and carefully clear the powder paint between the nose of the head and the top swivel piece. It really does make the swivel work better. Another trick I use when powder painting Pony Heads is to wrap the swivel in tin foil and before baking pull it off unless you want color on it then just do the clear.

Fatman,
Thanks for the tip, I will have to get the razor out, one thing I did notice was if I cured these pony heads there was more chance of the swivel getting jacked up, so I don't cure them any more, heck I rarely get many cast with them when not fishing from my boat. A old man told me once your not crappie fishing untill you start loosing jigs...LOL
then I am definitly Crappie fihing... I have many stumps and brushpiles decorated for Christmas this yearQuote:

If you use the little trick of putting tin foil around the swivel before you powder coat them then pull it off you shouldn't have to trim more than 2 or 3 unless you get too much powder coating on.
