Some jigs that I have made

[crappie&eyes]

Thought I would show some of the jigs I painted last week. Still playing around with the multi colors but did get a few that turned out ok.



This is my paint booth for painting with the airbrush. Got a few cranks ready to paint, just waiting on my new airbrush to get here.

Looks good, are sure you have a job? I have thought about making my own jigs is it cost effective or just a fun hobbie?

I have done it as a business and a hobbie. Yes, it can be a cost savings if you go as much as I do. If you only go a few times a year, then it isn't much of cost savings. Just to get started is going to cost you at least $200. This is only for the melting pot and molds and don't include the terminal stuff you need to make a jig(hooks, swivels, etc). I'm guessing I have close to $1k wrapped up into my lure building station. This includes all the bucktail, marabou, paint, fluid beds, etc.

Here are a couple of my bucktails, havn't had to much time to make jigs lately with school and work but plan on starting back up again.

Cool looks like they turned out good. I never really got into painting my lures, but I do build lures. It's a lot of fun and can add more excitement to fishing.
