SGT Rico Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 First time jig pourer. These are my first jigs ever!! I am waiting on the epoxy to cure. Jigs shown are 1/2oz with a 4/0 Owner 3X 5317 jig hook. Thanks Jigman for the advice. I’ll post some pictures of the completed product. I got the powder all over my shop, and there is powder all over the hook eye. Looking forward in learning more of this stuff. I looked like a medieval Knight, fighting the crusades. I had on every piece of safety equipment there was. I guess I have found another black hole to throw money at! 3 Quote

Super User Jig Man Posted April 13, 2018 Super User Posted April 13, 2018 The jig looks good. The paint on the eye won't hurt as long as you can get the line through the hole. If you want to keep the paint off the eye, hold the jig by the eye with pliers or hemostats. It is a bit tricky but you will get the hang of it. I'm looking forward to seeing some of your Poison Tail jigs. Look at Cadman's avatar. When you want to really get going you can learn the tap method. It is what Cadman's is widely known for being, one of, if not the best in the business. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress. 1 1 Quote

He doesn't have it listed anymore but he has the same one in a flat eye hook style that is made for the 32796 Mustad. Quote

I have the flat-eye one myself and it is great. Allen Quote
