    painting eyes on jigs??????

    I've been pouring my own jigs for a few years now but just recently thought I would paint eyes on them. Is there any secrets to this or is it as simple as taken a brush and dabbing them on?

    I use a drill bit or a nail I think they work better than a brush, just my opinion though.

    I do my cranks with wood dowel rods they come in multiple sizes I just cut them down to around 1.5" and lightly sand the outside diameter to insure roundness,also will work for jigs

    Back when I tied them comercially, I used a 'nail set' of various sizes- dip & dab...Ace is the place.
