More Open Water Swim jigs....
« on: 12/10/25 13:50 UTC »
I'm really liking this jig. These are done up without the weed guard again but with the cast on ringed keeper so bucktail can be tied on. I have a couple of Do-It's UV bucktails on the way to try with these heads and I'm sure they be winners.



Paints are Pro-Tec's candy colors, and the eyes are from Do-It's wide 3D eye selection. Those Warmouth eyes from the Attack series sure make the orange and chartreuse heads look down right mad. I love it!

I'll follow up when the buckies are done.

Nice looking jigs!

I got the mold too, and have poured some, but haven't painted any yet. I like the jig, as basic as it is, and think it will be a good one. I'm not sold on the hooks yet, they appear a bit short, but I only got 4/0. Not that shorter hooks can't be good. I also poured some with a different, longer shank hook, and will have to see which I like best.

I have some powder on order, and will get more jigs poured and hope to try the new powder colors on them.  :D
