This is a post for the tackle crafters out there. When I make my own round head or ball jigs I use the powder paints with an oven cure to help the paint last. I never bother to put eyes on those jigs. I know there are days when a jig with eyes seems to outproduce the same color jig without them. But in the back yard tackle manufacturing shop I never bother to get that fancy. That's what the tackle store is there for. I just got some beautiful 4/0 torpedo head jigs, perfect for tying up some custom jig flies with. What is the best way to get some eyes on them? I'd like to do a nice two color job with them, like a white or yellow iris with a black pupil. Is there a way to use the powder paint to do it, or am I best to do a base with the powder, and then use the vinyl paints to do the artistic work on the eyes? Any advice would be great! Thanks! AB

I made my take on "Ant Jigs" I dressed the larger series with hackle and tinsel on the tail. They were made with jig hooks, 3 different split shot sizes, powder painted, then painted highlights with nail polish great that I have 2 daughters so great selection, then clear coated. The white and pink are glow paint. The smaller jigs were made the same way I decided I am not going to dress and just use plastics or bait with them. my next set I am doing jigs with spinner blades, jig hooks and solder I'll post when finished a set.
