Nothing wrong with that jig Kip. the fish aren't going to care if you sanded it or not. I'd fish it. Heck, the one's I make sometimes don't even have paint and still catch fish.

The bass don't care if it's sanded or not best I can tell.  Good looking jig.  Hook choice, weight, skirt color choice, trailer color choice ( if one is used ) are important; not a smooth jig head.

Can you melt tungsten in a pot?    I think I read it's a whole different animal.

No.  Melting point is over 6,000 degrees.  Ma' definitely wouldn't be down with that.

Wow lol. Was just wondering if it was chemically safer alternative but I'll my chances with lead rather then 6000 degrees lol.

What do ya'll use to keep paint from getting in the weed guard holes? I used the teflon pin when I paint them, but when I pull it out, it often messes up the paint around the hole. Thanks.

Teflon pin here.  Before I molded the guard in.  That's a pain to keep looking good in the heat.

Kip, the Jig in the Pic is BANGIN'!  You must be similar to me in the "perfectionist" department.  Yep, it's definitely an affliction, but it turns out some nice baits!  FINE Job Sir!
