Drying racks
« on: 02/15/15 19:46 UTC »
Hey guys what do you use to hang your jigs on in the toaster oven? Just a cookie sheet or something? I was thinking tjs tackle made a rack to hang them from, but can't find anything on his website. Thanks for the help guys!

I cut a piece of wire to fit in the oven and that's what I hang my jigs on.

TJ's does make a good rack.
I use it on all my freshwater jigs.
You don't even need to open it.
Just slide the hook between the foam on the one side.
Any excess paint runs down the hook shank where it is easily removed.
No more nipple jigs.
Granted putting on just a thin coat is the best way.
I have 5 of his racks and will likely buy another one or two eventually.
They work the best for me.

  Yes it is. It all depends what size jigs your holding but I can get 6 to 8 bass jigs in it. I have three of them and can put them all in a toaster over at the same time. Baking the jigs in the up right position prevents cone head if you have a little to much paint. It's a very good setup.

I will be making mostly walleye jigs, and maybe some crappie jigs!

The TJ's jig clamp is worth every penny! Works really well.
Buy at least one more...than you think you need!

By the way... the powder airbrush set up with their air pump and air pump adapter works really well also. A little bit of a learning curve but you can get some darn good results. I made a spray collector out of a 5 gallon pail and my big Shop Vac and spray into the pail and it sucks the over spray into the shop vac. Super simple...but it works!

Would love to get some but money is tight so I stick with my old stand by's Aluminum bread pans that I flip the edge over and punch holes in, and when I do spinner bodies I stick the wire through the side and any drips go in the pan, but don't get many of them anymore

I just hang them on the rack that came with my toaster oven.  Just be careful when you slide it in or they will bunch up on ya and stick to each other.
God Bless!
