I need help please.  I have a new small business selling my jigs.   I'm set us with state tax and will be paying the federal excise tax.  No sales for the first quarter as the business was just started.    I have been asked to tie for a bait shop, they approached me not the other way around...

I bought some black matte powder paint from harbor freight.  I like it but want more shine can I add clear gloss powder to it? If so what company. Rosey's, pro tec?   Thanks!

I've seen great two color and multi color jig heads here.  Are they done with powder paint?  How is it done?  I'd like to give that a whirl.  Thanks!!!

How do you powder paint and cure say a football head jig if it already has the weed guard?  Won't the weed guard melt?  I want to try and tie some weedless jigs but I paint my own heads.   Thank you, Jim

Trying some enamel to paint jigheads and some spinner blades.  any tips you can give me for a smooth finish?   the top seems smooth but it looks uneven underneath.  I did one with primer and one without. the one without  the primer actually looks way more even then the primed one.     any help...

Hi Jay,  2 quick questions.   The Universal ll is no longer made.  What vise do you recommend for jigs? I live near Sylvan Beach on Oneida Lake.  What shops do you sell your jigs in and under what name.  I want to pick up some of your work.  I think they look great.   Thanks,  BigD

Wanted to thank the guys who gave me advice with the powder paint.  I'm starting to get better results.  here are 2 pike spinners I made this morning.  thanks again.   Jim

Hello this is my first post. I grew up with these type of jig heads. I can't find them anywhere. Can anyone tell me what they are? this is one left over from the 80's. I know my friends dad made them from a mold but both he and my friend have passed and are no longer with us. thank you .
