Plain Lead Jighead vs. Painted Jig Head ?
 

I got my order of spro style jigheads from Sam the Sinkerman last week. The quality is always superb and the pricing is unbeatable. Thanks again Sam ! I am planning on using them this year for fluke jigging hard bottom. I would much rather lose a jighead with a gulp grub than a bucktail. Has anyone ever fished plain lead jigheads with grubs for fluke ? Did a painted jighead with same grub produce more fish ? Please let me know if anyone has had some firsthand experience with these.

Plain jig heads will fish just as good. Now..... if you coat them with a UV finish...they will out fish the painted heads. Give it a shot and see for yourself. No joke. I'm talking about a clear UV finish. Will look like a plain raw head to human eye. But.. let me know the results.. lol.

"Naked" jig heads work great. You can dress em effectively up a couple ways too. Squid skirts are a cheap way to add to the effect or simple colored surgical tubing on the hook. I've seen both produce quality fish.

Jersey Coast, where can I get the UV ? Ive tried powder painting which is too much work to be losing the jigs fishing the reef. I bought some rustoleoum fluorescent spray paint that I want to use to spray the jigs. I tested it in the garage and didn't work im assuming its too cold to spray paint. The paint was literally running off the jig heads. Any ideas on spray paint that will stick ? or is it just the weather being too cold ?

I already use jigheads with squid skirts Mike, and they work fine but you guys got me curious on trying the UV coating this summer

Realize you don't want to use powder paint but probably the best way to keep the paint on the jig . You can get a 2oz jar of the UV paint for $8 which will coat a ton of jigs for you....link below

I think Tom has it in the store give him a call, he also has a black light box set up so you can see what your finished jigs look like.

I just got a lb of uv blast. My goal was to dip a lead jig fresh out of the melter to try and keep the shiny metal look. Didn't happen. The uv gave it a light lavender color. But that may not matter if the uv is as effective as they say.:D It does put a nice glossy finish on top of colored jigs though.

Keith that looks pretty cool. I really like the 2 tone jigs in the background ! Airbrush ?

Using powder paint, you get a heat gun Harbor Freight 2 salt shakers and you get do the 2 tone finish.
