[cool]It's beginning to sound like an obsession..."The Young Man and the C...for Castaic". Keep on keepin' on. You will get a shot someday.
I'm attaching a pic of some of the newest purple glitter jigs I just got out of the final epoxy coating. Will do some wire bending and blade additions this week and send a few off ASAP. I'll PM you when they are on the way.
I usually have to work with any new glitter I get to get the feel for it. Some of them can be applied right to the bare lead. Others need an undercoating of white. Still others show up better if I paint them with an undercoat close in color to the glitter.
I experimented with undercoats of white, red and purple. The purple came out the best. Although the red undercoat produced some interesting highlights.
I will be playing around with adding both red and/or blue...and maybe some green flecks in with the purple...to get some "june bug" colors. I have done well on plastics with that color. I am also going to make up some leadhead jigs for fishing worms rigged with a jighead. Also a good way to fish some of the 6" ribworms.
