Tarting up your Jigheads.

[Flattie Assassin]

After reading through a few old threads i thought i'd give it a try. You can use powdercoat or similar but i chose this gear...

It dries odourless and gives it a plastic feel. We all like our different coloured plastics, so why not different coloured jigheads.


Just taped them up a bit and give them a cpl of coats. leave to dry for 20.

Add some fancy squiggle type things in the wifes nail polish, or go shopping for some! :P ;) So you really feel like you've made a difference in catching the fish.. ::);D

Then resharpen. I use Eze-Lap Diamond hone and stone, on all my jig hooks. Add your bait of choice and your away...

Not a bad idea.
always woundered if a painted head would be better than a plain led one. Let me know how they go.

You might only catch girl fish with the colour you have picked though;D ;D

with the part of you re-sharpening the hook why wouldnt you just tape the whole hook. (just a thought)

LOL we all know flathead are "Metrosexual". :-* They love the pinkish hues!! ;)

Gonna try some lime green as well. God knows where it will go. I was talking to the bloke there about casting my own resin... Mix some silver flecks in.

Did you heat the lead up at all? Or slightly rough up the surface? I was thinking about painting some myself the other day and wondered if this would help the paint 'take'.

[Flattie Assassin]

Nah just made sure the surface was clean. I'll see how they go anyway.
