You could try contacting the people at J.Stockard JS Fly Fishing: Rod Building Supplies, Fly Tying Materials they are great people to work with and some of the best tying materials I've come across. They maybe able to set you with larger amounts. Mike

if you us the compressor any type of air tools, a moisture separator is a must. Water moisture is the major cause of tool failure and pays hell with your paints, if air brushing. The regulator is an important to protect your air tools, especially like air brushing, which normally operates at low PSI. Depending on the compressor CFM's, you want to be able to control PSI to your tools otherwise it can blow'em apart Mike

Culprit and Punisher makes some nice mylar jigs, that's where I got the idea from. but they're pretty plan, so thought I'd give'em a try and experiment a bit with some other materials to dress them up a bit Mike
-
I've used them several times in the past. Great customer service, prompt order shipments, reasonable pricing and quality products. You won't be disappointed. Mike

I've thought about trying some of that Kevlar thread but don't have a ceramic guide type bobbin and I've heard using Kevlar threads can pay hell on standard bobbins and tear up your fingers Mike
-
Thanks Fatman, I'll check out that out. I've started using Danville threads and I think they have the same type 8/0 and 6/0 too. thx's Mike
-
I'm going to try to tie a few small minnow jigs using Mylar tubing something like this, that Punisher makes, and dress it up a bit ... experimenting a bit if you will Was wonder what type of thread would work the best on tying Mylar tubing? Mike
-
think I'll take yankee jigger advise ... sounds like a better idea instead of trying mess with a bunch of old jig. thx's Mike
-
I've been going through some of my old jigs and would like to repaint them. What's the best method to remove old paint and prep the jig to be repainted with new powder paints. thx's Mike

Ok, thanks reeves for the helpful info, appreciate it. Gonna have to give this a try. Mike
-
thanks reeves, sounds simple enougth do you still need to apply a seal/top coat, IE: Devcon, or similar, when using this clear coat ? thx's Mike
-
excuse me jumping in on this thread, but being new to powder painting myself, I was wondering when using this clear coat, is this added after you put on your base coat(s), applied similar to multi color powder painting? Do you still need to apply a top coat for harding/protection? Do you cure the clear coat in the same manner as curing other painted jigs .. or is there a special procedure for applying the clear coat? Thx's Mike
-
Yea, I've noticed the same thing about hook sizes. Don't want to spend a ton on vise that won't handle the large hook sizes. The master vise is in my budget range. I contact and see what hook sizes it handles. thx's again, Mike
-
thanks a bunch, some good sites. Do you happen to know what size hooks that Master vise will handle ... will it handle up to #3/0 ? thx's Mike
-
I thought I'd pass this along. came across these item from another forum for walleye/muskie fishing. BPS has a brass quick change clevis out made of brass should hold alot better then some of the plastic ones when your after the bigger critters. Bass Pro Shops XPS Quick Change Clevis - Model QC8 Mike

Thanks for clarifying this ... I was wondering where that mail came from with the nifty little skirt tool. Mike

the sparkies are also good when rigged with a chatter, shaker style blades. Work pretty well if put together properly. Mike
