Nap time would be more like it with all that on the plate for today lol. Hope you get 'em all done the way you like 'em!

 

[SaltyBuckster]

I'm getting there.Made a couple 1/8 oz. the same silver and white also.Now time for the Big Boys.Decided to change some of the colors since I'm getting short on nice gray bucktails.

 

[LedHed]

Good stuff Bruce

 

[blt]

Does your wrist get tiered/sore from the twisting/turning of those big ones while painting?
Can't wait to see 'em dressed out.

 

[SaltyBuckster]

The putting on the eyes is the part that I just HATE.There's got to be a better way of doing it.This will be the last time that I rush to tie and make jigs.This just is'nt any fun to me !I like doing Maybe a dozen at a time,FOR ME !!lol.For real though,you guys that do this to make money are CRAZY.

 

[StumpHunter]

Looking good. All the colors are nice and I am also looking forward to seeing the finished jigs.

 

[SaltyBuckster]

Me Too !! I can't wait to be done.

 

[blt]

I was wondering about rushing to get that many done lol. But it looked like you had you battle plan in motion.

I use a long set of tweezers with fine pointed tips to put the eyes on, then sally hansen one side at a time in batches of like 12-18.
This old man uses reading glasses also!

 

[SaltyBuckster]

Eyes are 3/4 done.Is'nt this 1/8 oz. one a cute little devil?Some of Cadman's automile silver with a white bottom.I'll show you guys a pic outside tomorrow so you can see it real good.Looks just like a minnow.

 

[SaltyBuckster]

A Lot...I was just writing the stuff to your email.

 

[blt]

Looks great. I forgot, you use different eyes than I do. That flat holographic ones are a LOT easier.
Hope you do well at the show.
