Painted Heads

[bluefin]

Hi everyone, Hope your all well ??
Fished thursday and friday this week. Did well with 3 Bream on Soldier crabs in a eddy, Dirty water run out tide . 1 Tailor and 6 flathead. Plus a few undersize fish.On lures .
Painted Jig Heads. A while ago there was a push to use coloured jig heads. Did anyone paint theirs and was it worth it ? A bit of red on the underside could look like the flared gills of an injured fish.
Im thinking I have the nail polish and 3 grandkids. A bit of craft ?? Howard.

Sound like a great activity for the grand kids - I'll be interested to see the results

The fad faded quickly so I don't expect any improvement to catch rates, but they look more appealing to the fisherman. !! And it will give me a chance to re sort them into weights !!!!!!!

yeah I've painted a few in the past - but 2 coats of the cheapest spray paint isnt very durable

A hardware guy said lead needs to be primed before it will take spray paint properly

I gave up pretty soon after that

Nice work !!

I will be painting some up shortly, fishing with a friend of mine who paints heads we found a difference between the catch rate with painted vs not painted heads on some quieter days
