Well I got a bunch of the redman style heads painted up tonight, and a few others. The glitter coats are basic coat then dipped in clear with glitter.

Thanks all!! Kip I gave up trying to mix color + lots of clear and then glitter and not having it show. I'm back to double dipping the heads. The real glittery blue ones are black base coat then reheat then dip in clear with two shades of blue glitter. I'm thinking I need to add some more clear to break it up a bit.

The color of the 4th pic is a color I messed up before but it's turned into a color I really like!!! Base coat on it is white pearl then redipped in the color. I'm working on making a new batch but it's not close. After that color I always write down what I mix together now.

tie some of those with kiptail and hang 2" of worm off the back of them hooked thru the end. those glitter heads would make a killer hair jig.

I quit mixing glitter in base coats too . Kept winding up baby poop , duck poop and chicken poop colors . They fish OK but I couldn't help but wrinkle my nose every time I went to tie one on . Mighty fine job there Bro.
