Our new Brazilian Friend Inspired

[plateboater]

Been busy at work!!! Finally poured a couple hundred jigs over the weekend for a few friends. Called Rosey's and talked about a chrome finish. Here is the final results. 1/16 oz #4 hook, stump's squeeze to the heads. Using rabbit strip (yellow/barrow stripe) and white satin from JoAnn's. I did tie in a couple strands of silver strips also.

Thanks!

That's a good chrome. Looks close to the like bonded chrome I have
If it is anything like mine, don't clear pp or nail polish over it, after curing. It'll throw it waaaaaay off.
Tie is way superb

Thanks everyone......always like trying something new. All the rain this spring I hope fall is better for RnD with the new colors. I hope to try this weekend if I am not out for opening squirrel season!

Save Them squirrel Tails

Dunno why the paint mfg calls it "chrome", but nonetheless an attractive silver pearl natural baitfish color. The head with eyes is certainly eye candy.

Toadfrog......will be saving. Have grays and reds here in IL!

I love the pattern bright but still has baitfish appeal!!!!

 

[StumpHunter]

That is a great color jig! Nice work on the head and picking the materials. Sweet

Thanks guys.....you do not believe in what satin does until you see it in action. 2" piece/4' long from JoAnn's is $.50. You cannot go wrong!
