Dimple head..... :(

[Squeakyboatcaptain]

Uh Oh.....I have gotten real low on my painted jig heads. I tied this one up on one that the head kind of dripped while curing..... I have 4 more like this, but they have a huge drip. I like this pattern too much to use up the material on drip heads I only made the one, but I have plans for some of those RonDon heads I have waiting at home!!!


The Chenille is Sunshine. Color is similar to the Tutti Frutti, but a little more subtle....gonna be another favorite for sure!!

The drip won't deter the fish. That's a killer patter and paint job. Bright, like I like and tied perfectly.
You'll enjoy rd's heads.

I know the fish won't mind, but..... I am getting a little picky... LOL and that chenille don't seem to grow on the trees. I WISH!!!! LMAO!

Take an emory board/sandpaper and sand the nipple off - then heat the spot with a butane lighter, it should seal it right off. But truthfully for your own jigs I wouldn't worry about it - I still get some and I just tie em up and use em. The fish don't care.

That is a bright color pattern!

Ditto with the others that the fish don't care...... i have a few 'nip' heads and honestly think they look pretty good. Almost the minnow head shape. If we perfect that 'minnow powder drip head' we might put Ronny out of bizness. Well, maybe not.

I have a few others that are true 'DRIP' heads that the drip either made it to the catch pan or almost did..... i set those aside. Since then i made an all thread rod holder that keeps the heads upright and the drips run down the shank now. ScottV has a post somewhere on here about how he made his. It is the solution but time consuming to load it up before curing.

Thanks for the idea on how to put a fix to the nips Fatman - will give it a try.

That's funny,but I'm the same way with drips like that.I go all out and file them down to bare lead and use a model brush to tap a little color on the bad spot and recure it,lol.

Sometimes I think that little paint nipple makes the jig look better to the fish!! Gives the jig a different action than a regular ballhead
