Fishermanbt Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 I found using forceps and a magnet helped in minimizing the powder paint in the jig eye and the link of the swing jig. This worked pretty well for me dipping in a fluid bed or the jar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Nice video. You might want to get some Frankfort Arsenal drop out spray. You can treat the whole mold instead of using the candle and it will last for a long time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcdogfish Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Does using the spray hinder painting? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been using the Frankfort Arsenal drop out spray for about two years. It is a graphite base product used as a release agent for molding bullets. I always use it for molding lead lures. Before heating my lead I spray mold cavities, spray dries in about 5 min. I pour about three times without hooks. This allows me to get the mold hot and to adjust the thermostat on my lee Magnum pot. If I do alot of pouring I respray so lead comes out easy. I have never ever had a problem powder painting afterwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fshng2 Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Skimpy, it would seem that swing hook jigs have more action than fixed hook jigs. This being the case, do swing hook jigs catch more fish? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBehr Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I use the Swing Jig football and Poison Tail jigs extensively and watching them in the water with a variety of baits I don't think the baits make a significant improvement in the swing back and forth. However, if you watch Skimpy's water tank testing video and the baits in clear water what you do see is a significant improvement in the "tail up" with many baits. I have landed well over a 100 bass on the football and Poison tail swing jigs (up to 6.5 lbs) and what I have noticed is that there is a SIGNIFICANT decrease in the bass's ability to leverage the weight and throw the hook/bait. The leverage is decreased in the "Swing" wire. I won't say I didn't loose any fish....but I don't remember loosing any! Watch his aquarium video and see if you agree. Especially the Mad Dad 3xl at the end! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling it will become one of my favorites though lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fshng2 Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Thanks DaBehr & Skimpy for the replies. The Cherry Picker & Mad Dog look so real! Does the swing impart more action to the overall bait? It would be interesting to see a fixed jig and swing jig in a side by side demo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
