    My First Attempt

    This is my first try at Jig Making. I have a couple of questions.

    #1 Can I take the jig straight out of the mold and dip it in the powder coat? Will it be hot enough?

    Re: My First Attempt (HeavyMetalBassinKing)

    I made some with, some without. I don't always like them. I have about 2 dozen unpainted with weedguards in 1/4 and 3/8 ounce. I like the head style and the wide gap hook.

    Did you oven cure your paint to harden it? If you do, remember to clean out the hook eyes before curing or you will have a hard time getting the paint out.

    hello mike, cant wait to catch those hogs sunday, saw bassboatcentral.com sticker on your boat last week thought I would check it out, nice site enjoying browsing. An excellent website for all of your tacklemakeing questions is tackleunderground.com do a search on any topic you can imagine and you will get very good answers, I have to warn you makeing your own stuff is addictive, talk at you later Jeff

    Re: My First Attempt (VictorM.)

    Yes, that is a Poison Tail. The guy that posted above you Luke is a friend of mine named Jeff and knows everything about making this kind of stuff. He makes the best jigs and spinnerbaits I have ever seen, and so I am taking lots of his advice learning this stuff
