Welcome to the insanity. :jig: Looks like you are well set up to paint lots of jigs.

Do you store your powder in those fluid bed cups? That makes alot of sense so you don't have to keep cleaning cups to change colors. Are those cups PVC tubing - never seen the orange caps/lids like that.

Thanks everyone!!!! I target walleyes all summer long and yellow perch in the ice fishing season. I usually tip my jige with rubber lures. I havent started tying yet. I am going to do alot of reading and start buying tying products and be prepared for winter to do all my tying. Looking forward in reading all the post on tying. Thanks for the welcome.
