I had just recently made a post of some scrappy bass jigs I had thrown together, and have since perfected my idea. After about a month or two of web surfing, I made a wallet breaking order, so I could finally perfect my madness. My order set me back a bit, but now I am well under way to making a 100+ jigs. Besides buying the lead heads already molded, these jigs are all custom. For once I can mass produce the jigs in the exact color, and style I want. No more buying some expensive shifty colored jigs from tackle shops. Now, all I need is alot of time for mass assembly.
The only problem I did encounter is finding someone that sells vinyl paint in more natural colors. For now my basic colors are black, brown, and a very similiar pumpkin brown. I would love to find colors more natural in the water then pinks, whites, and yellows, so my quest continues. If anyone knows of a site that sells paints in more natural colors, please make me aware.
The painting, which def. takes some time. 2 coats, with the 3rd coat being clearcoat gloss.
Next is the color decisions. All the strands I recieved are all of personal choice and more or less natural colors. With only a couple strands of gold, and chartreuse that I'm mixing in.
My skirt after band is installed.
The jig, and rattles before final assembly, which is def. the hardest part of the process.
And the final product. All I need now is a name.
