Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted December 28, 2014 Global Moderator Posted December 28, 2014 Blue was a good night fishing color for me the past year, and bladed jigs were a good night fishing bait, put the two together... I think this with a sapphire blue pit boss on the back is going to catch a lot of night time bass for me this next summer 8 Quote
Super User gardnerjigman Posted December 28, 2014 Super User Posted December 28, 2014 That looks great! Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted December 28, 2014 Super User Posted December 28, 2014 That is just fantastic!!!! I have had some really good success running an all blue spinnerbait in slightly stained water with 3' of visibility and I bet that will work good even during the day, you have the perfect shade, nice work!!! BTW, I love that head for just normal swim jigs as well, great design. Quote

BTW, I love that head for just normal swim jigs as well, great design. I'll be fishing it during the day too no doubt. Sapphire blue is a great jig color during the day in stained water like you said. I do also use that head for swim jigs, although I prefer the 3/8oz for bladed jigs and the 1/4oz for swim jigs. Why blue? Just asking. I've had good success with sapphire blue jigs in stained water (90% of the water around here is at least stained). Quote
JeziHogg Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 How'd you color the blade? Anodized? Powder Coat? Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Global Moderator Posted January 9, 2015 How'd you color the blade? Anodized? Powder Coat? I use a powder paint air brush. Sounds like cabin fever has set in lol Not really any cabin fever hear yet, the power plant lakes do a good job keeping that away 1 Quote

MassBass Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 That looks killer. Blue is a key color in the bass' underwater world. The fins of bluegill are blue. The tips of crayfish claws are blue. Is that skirt handmade? Quote

JeziHogg Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Thanks, I just looked at the webpage - All you need for the air gun is a aquarium pump and the adapter? Quote
cbass12 Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Let me know when you have a couple for me to "test"........ Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Global Moderator Posted January 9, 2015 Thanks, I just looked at the webpage - All you need for the air gun is a aquarium pump and the adapter? Yes, I bought the whole kit from them to make surr I had the right stuff. Make surr to read and follow the directions like I didn't the first time I tried to use it. 2 Quote
z7master167 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 What other colors do you do, post some pics i love the blue. Quote
Super User Sam Posted January 22, 2015 Super User Posted January 22, 2015 That looks like a jig for the Potomac River. Beautiful presentation. You did good! Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Global Moderator Posted January 22, 2015 What other colors do you do, post some pics i love the blue. I do tons of colors, one of my favorite baits to fish so when I see a need for a new color I go home and make it I've done lots of colors that I don't have pictures of, but here's a few of them. 3 Quote
Ozark_Basser Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Blue was a good night fishing color for me the past year, and bladed jigs were a good night fishing bait, put the two together... I think this with a sapphire blue pit boss on the back is going to catch a lot of night time bass for me this next summer I remember how you said you cut the weedguards flush to the head and paint over them. Do you get a clean finish when you paint over it? I tried filling the holes with devcon and it worked all right but after dipping you could still see the ring where the dvcon topped off. I've considered cutting base hole pins just long enough to seel the mold and not even leaving a hole for a weedguard. Quote

KDW96 Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 These are some excellent quality built bait sir. I think im gonna try to make some, to help with the winter months. If you dont mind? what kind(brand) of jig is on the black/chart? Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 24, 2015 Author Global Moderator Posted January 24, 2015 They're all built on jigs I poured and tied myself. Quote
z7master167 Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Anything in the green pumpkin line? Quote
