Hey Ted
I use the Pro Tec pearl from Benjamin and I really like it. Don't know about the gold tho.
I'm sending your other jigs out this week. I'll PM you instead of hi-jacking the post

Thanks Mike

For Ted:
I have used the Pro-Tec pearl white quite a bit. It sucks. Absolutely the hardest color to do. It doesn't seem to want to flow like all the other colors, and I have tried everything to overcome this problem. It acts like it wants more heat to flow, yet it is one of the lowest heat cure temps that Pro-Tec has. If you have any answers, I'm listening.

George,
I really haven't used pearl, so I can not comment. However, I do like the looks of livelybaits pearl jigs. I'll have to find time to try it. I will say, I have Pro-Tecs Gold and Silver, and I hate the color of both of them. I have no problem wih applying it, it's just that the gold really doesn't look like gold, and the silver is more like gray. I have found a substitute for both of those in a custom blend. I think I'm going to have to start thinning my powder supply, and get rid of some stuff.
