Thanks Jig Man!

Hello all, what is the standard (I know - no such thing) size colorado blade on a 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 ounce spinnerbaits. I would think they would be paired with a size #4 on the lighter baits and #5 on larger. Thanks in advance!!!

Thank you all for the feedback so far!

Hey Everyone, I am opening a licensed tackle business and am trying to find out information on jig skirt wholesalers. I have been buying for fishingskirts.com and living rubber - both awesome suppliers - but would like to go more direct since this will be a business to business transaction. All help and information is appreciated. Thanks!

One thing I have done when I have a bad pour is just take wire cutters and clip the lead off the hook being careful to not nick or damage the metal on the hook. Usually have to cut away 3 or 4 chunks but works.

Thank you Mark!

Hi Everybody,I have posted two videos on YouTube - Making Bass Jigs - Pouring Leadhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNDfrGF2B4UandMaking Bass Jigs - Epoxy Powder Paint and Weedguardshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmYI7Lepv48I will be adding a making skirts video soon. I am by no means a large production operation. I do it for fun, sell some on EBay, but mainly want to share what I have learned through trial and error. Will probably remake them all in the future as I have edits and additions I see would be helpful. If you care to, check em out and please let me know what you think! Thanks!

Hi all, Don't want to step on any toes because I am new to this particular site. So, is it proper to add a link or title of a jig making video here? Thanks!

Thanks for the torch tip and I'll check the website. cabled

Chris - Sounds like you have the system down! As for myself, still doing it as a hobby and not quite ready to dive in that deep. Sounds like the way to go though. I may contact you in the future... Two Bits - Once the jigs are heated up, you gotta dip them pretty quickly. I just load them all side by side with the hooks facing the door, swing the door open, grab one, dip it, tap the excess off on the side of the jar, and hang it on the bowl. I usually do 25 at a time (that's what the bowl will hold. After that, heat cure. One thing I didn't mention earlier - this bowl is kind of like a clamshell around the outside, so each jig has its own "place" around the rim to keep them from sliding into each other. Don

Here's how I paint mine - I place all my jigs on the aluminum pan that comes with most toaster ovens and put them in an old toaster oven @ about 375 degrees. After a few minutes, I take them out one by one with a pair of needlenose pliers, dip 'em, and hang them on the outside edge of an old serving bowl. The serving bowl is about 12" in diameter with edges that come out at an angle (about 45 degrees), it doesn't curve up near vertical like a typical bowl. The jigs hang around the outside without contacting the bowl and it holds about 25 jigs. After the bowl is "full", I just slip it in my kitchen oven for 20 minutes to cure the paint. I find this easier than slipping jigs down between racks that I occasionally touch with a freshly painted jig. That hasn't happened to me yet with the bowl system. Just another idea for you if you care to try it out... cabled
