Re: help...help..HELP.!!
Well out of 70 jigs Im throwing away about 45. Most of them stand up jigs. I ran mono through them back and forth, if it snagged I tossed them. My thinking is you can get away w/ a little paint on most jig eyes because the knot isnt going to move much on the hook set. But on a stand up jig its gonna move about 45 degrees on the hook set. If there is any paint chips there, the line will break. Im gonna start a new thread and ask that question...

Re: help...help..HELP.!!
Well to end this story...........the key (I now know) thanks to you all, is to poke a wire through the eye RIGHT after the powder coat dunk. That makes a hole that will dry w/ smooth edges..........thanks everyone!

Re: help...help..HELP.!!
I know I'm coming into this late... Are you using powder paint or powder coat? I just saw a powder coat process in use that looked fantastic and I don't think there was ever that kind of problem. There was an issue with one color not bonding to the jig as it should have, but I think that was being worked on.

Re: help...help..HELP.!!
I clean the eyes of my jigs with a toothpick before the final bake. Never had a problem with cut line.

Re: help...help..HELP.!!
Put a piece of panty hose through your line guides. I once did this years ago, and discovered that ALL my rods had cracked ceramic inserts. Now I check regularly, but haven't had a problem since I started building my own rods.
Also, clean your jig eyes BEFORE curing your powder paint.
Hope you figure it out.
