I have tying seawitches since i was a kid so the nylon wasnt hard for me. Learning a powder paint technique was the hard part. I ended up learning from another friend of mine to heat jig head in oven.......remove with visegrips...sprinkle and brush out powder paint....return to oven for 10 minutes....remove and paint again then bake for 10 minutes. They come out perfect everytime.

I have learned a trick to that also. Scuff your jighead with 80 grit sandpaper the crosshatch scuff will create a mechanical bond surface for the paint to stick to. Holds up really well to impact.

I made 6oz and 8oz. And 12 oz also for tandem rigs. We wire line the 12oz. We bounce alot of bottom rocks sand etc.
