Brush jig paint in the eye

Recommended Posts

I hold the eye of my jigs with needle nosed pliers or hemostats.  When any paint gets in I run a spinnerbait wire through it then bake.  I only heat the jig enough to get a dull light coating of paint on it so when paint gets in the eye there isn’t much.

Oh that terrible moment when I take a batch of jigs out of the oven and realize, "shoot! I forgot to clear the eyes!"

Yep, learned that a long time ago when I started to paint jigs and I painted and baked 100 jigs. After I took them out they looked so beautiful, then I realized I didn't clear the eyelets. So I thought no big deal, I'll just poke them through with a jig eye buster. Wrong, that didn't work because the paint was so hard. Had to work at it for a long time and that job was a money loser for me. Way too many hours to clean out the eyes. Never forgot again.
