My 1st ties on Ron Don's 1/12 Minnow

[Pepop]

I'm LIKE'IN these heads and I'm also LIKIN that Texas Toast. I think the Minner works better with tht Blk/Silver/Ruby Slipper paint job but it's great with some other colors.

MY BAD Ron Don!! SORRY! I got some jigheads from CA the same time & I guess I got confused. Anyway, I love the head's. Can't wait to give them a dance. Also, I'm playing with some eyes but I don't quite have it yet.

Hey Pepop.....I am looking at these jigs again. They are sweet. Can you help with how you are putting on the paint for the heads. I am runnning to fluid beds one for color and one for clear coat. Yours appear to be blending. How are you making that happen!

I took a 1/12oz mimmow head and heated & dipped as usual in black, when I went back to the heat to smooth, I heated the "belly" a bit more and used a small artist brush to "dust" with Silver then a little more heat and another brush and "dusted" with Ruby Slipper. These walleye heads are the first I did, turned out pretty good...

I saw the technique on YouTube and that really helped...
