ok, i had read about the teflon pins i just wasn't sure about them. do any of you have trouble keeping the pins in while swishing the jig head in the powder coat? does it want to fall out easily? Thanks

So when I use powder paint to paint my jig heads I like to do it before I add the weedguard. This is because I hand tie my skirts on and it is much much easier to do this without the weedguard in place. However, when I powder paint the jigs I am having problems with the paint getting in the hole for the weedguard. This results in me not being able to add the desired weedguard strands to the finished jig. How do you guys keep the paint out of the weedguard hole while powder painting? Thanks!

sounds good, thanks!

where do you get your spacers/beads for your spinnerbaits, i've been using sleeves for wire leaders and large beads used for worm harnesses. while not conventional it's a little different look that i like, but still curious where you guys get yours, or at least what size you use?

i dipped the spinnerbait in hook first just as you described, worked out fine, no problems. also I used my vinyl clear coat as i ahve with my jigs before and the spinnerbait head cam out quite nicely. Thanks!

so you tap the powder coat on with a paint brush? Also, are there any downsides to using a powder coat base and the using a vinyl clear coat to add some glittle or flake to it?

I like the vinyl and I'm doing some new things (new to me) with it now to add some effects and such. however I am considering switching to powder coat... Right now i brush it on my spinnerbaits though, I like the vinyl because it doesn't chip. The way i fish my jigs powder coat always chips on me and I feel like the vinyl lasts longer, however my chatterbaits get abused and I'm thinking powder coat may be a good option to switch to, it seems like everyone else uses it.... Lots of decisions to make i guess lol

I've been using CS Coatings Vinyl Lure and Jig Finish. It has given me some good results so far, after some bad first experiences that is. It holds up relatively well, about on par with power coat jigs and chatterbaits i've used. However I'm curious what do all of you recommend for Jigs if I don't want to use powder coat? Just looking for some alternatives, also I've been dipping my heads which is kind of an issue with Spinnerbaits so how do you guys paint you spinnerbaits since I can't dip mine. Thanks
