Oh trust me, they will not be any thing of beauty....  Can't imagine the Lings thinking- "no do not bite that one it is really ugly"....

The uglier the better is what I say, hell if they hit pipe jigs they will not worry about your paint job !!!

[cohoho]

45 pounds of lead melted and poured for 100 - 7 ounce, half of them painted- very ugly for sure and look like crap.....  Now - I got to do the 9 ounce with another 50 some pounds of lead for another 100 of those once the wires arrive..  Maybe by then I will have the painting technique down.... And then another 100 of the 2 ounce jigs...  My lead pile is dwindling quickly...  Only got about 200lbs left.....  


Robo- get your buckets ready buddy....

Post up a pic. Even if they are ugly  I jig for salmon in the columbia and was wondering if putting the hook on the top like you do works better than one on the bottom?

Holy Smokes thats a pile of jigs for sure !! Shouldn't run out for several years.

I'm wondering which "buckets" you are referring to though ?? I have lots of buckets and most of them are ready but I'm not too sure what they are ready for ??

P.S. I primed a few jigs and then coated them with vinyl spray paint, looks promising but now I have to wait till the stuff dries for the color coats !!

[robodad]

How's this ?? I did the red with my airbrush and the green with a rattle can and I think I like the results with the airbrush better ??

Look at you, aren't you the little Leonardo or Michelangelo?  What next a Artistic revision of Mona Lisa on a fishing lure?

[huntergreg]

Those look great!

If you look real close there is a pic of Jesus on one of those green ones, never know what will come out of one of them rattle cans !! 

[cohoho]

Dude, I seriously need some art classes...  These will become famous on my boat for sure...  Might be the funniest and crappiest thing I ever attempted..  Wait till you see the ones with piled up glow in the dark paste after it dries.  Holy Smokes...

[robodad]

  ............I bet you catch fish with them though, I have used much worse stuff and still caught fish with them so I don't see where you'll have a problem !! 

[huntergreg]

Looks good cohoho!   

robodad did you pour your jigs?  what kind of paint did you use for your base coat?
