This was probably covered but if so I missed it. When baking jig heads that have been painted with both power paint and the acrylic that you are showing here, is it ok to bake the jigheads with the acrylic paint on them? In other words will acrylic paint take the heat like powder paint does? Thanks

Mike Richards I have re-baked jig heads after applying the eyes - some paints (chartreuse body and white eye) combined and made a different eye color than I intended but still looked cool, other paints worked just fine. Anyone else’s thoughts on this?

[@kansasgardener5844]

@@wisalmonfisher85 I use acrylic paint after I have baked my powder paint on my jigs. Then I dip my jig heads in a clear epoxy.

[@bigmanlilcoat]

Powder coat?

[@chrismihulka-nwfishingstuf3852]

Yes.

[@fillmorecorpus9102]

Chris, Are the stamps a one time application since the paints are enamel or do you clean the stamps off after each set of eyes? If so how? Is it possible to use an acrylic paint? If so can you recommend one. Thanks. Great stuff and good post.

[@kansasgardener5844]

I use acrylic paint and the dull side of a drill bit to dot all my eyes. Then dip them in clear apoxy.

Do crappie care about eyes?

[@chrismihulka-nwfishingstuf3852]

It is said it gives them a "Target" area to strike at.

Did anyone else notice the fish pattern with the red paint...

I missed that!
