I dunno about all this hi tech powder coat stuff.. I started bucktailing fluke back in the early 70's when NO one else was doing it.. They hit plain old painted Upperman bucktails or even cheap imitations... Same with unpainted heads... Sweetwater SMB, Walleyes, Lake Trout etc, must be at least as discerning as your average 18" fluke right?... I catch hundreds of fish each year with jigs that are unpainted.. Personally, I think the key is finding the action the fish are interested that particular day, and the right sweetener, ...In my opinion color of the head matters very little.. I would use plain old Rustoleum.. Its cheap, and very hard and tough when dry... My personal best Brown Trout was caught on a wheel weight off a car... I use them for Laker jigging, and they are killer at times... I paint them white with $1 a can Wal mart enamel, add hooks and split rings, and catch tons of fish of all kinds on them... Those $8 Spros look great, but it is debateable if they catch fish because they are fancy and powder coated... they catch fish because they are being fished by VERY good fisherman that would catch just as many fish on unpainted heads w cheap rubber skirts and some gulp... bob
