Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Does anybody use powder coat paint on their jig heads? I've thought about using it and would like to know what you use and where you get your paint. I've done some research but nothing beats a first hand account of the process.

Thanks, Garrett Ritter

Thanks again for the information. Y'all definitely answered my questions. It's much appreciated. 

I powder paint and use fingernail polish (in combination also). All the auto patterns I tye are on jig heads that have been powder coated.

I realize this is an older thread/subject, how ever for those powder coating, once you dip the jig into the paint clean the eye of the hook as soon as possible, and especially befor baking.....learned this the hard way. Eric
