Working The Bass Jigs

[Pup]

One-quarter of an ounce ball heads with #1 hooks. Did a little powder painting this evening and tied a swim jig.



Used a product called Triple Thick to coat the gray heads. I like its ease of use and the resulting finish.

Never bass fish but could see some sacs on the grey n oranges swimming post spawn black river water in a sliiiiightly smaller size. You've got to teach me the eyes! Wonderful work Pup. Kudos.

Thank you all for your comments.

I really look forward to fishing the finished jig. If only today wasn't going to be the warmest day of the year in my area.

Oh well, off to painting and to tie up some more...

Finished dressing the remaining jigs this afternoon.

Thank you very much AZ.

Here's one more photo of a 1/8-oz. version of the brown jigs for smallmouth bass. This one's a little different as it has a different jig head color. I call it "plum brown". My wife calls it "rum raisin".



I've found that I can create two pretty nice-looking brown colors by combining black, red, and yellow powder paints sold by Harbor Freight.

With three pounds of these powders, costing a total of about 15 dollars, I can mix enough brown powder paint to last my lifetime.

I had better continue to enjoy creating jigs for smallmouth bass fishing...lol
