Pour Dennis

Thanks for the replies. It looks like I am heating them too hot before dipping them. I will try less heating time. I cure them in a toaster over at 350 for 20 min like the bottle recommends.

I have a small dilemma with curing powder paint. When I heat my jig heads and dip them in the fluid bed the paint comes out with a high gloss finish. But after Curing them in the oven they come out with a matte finish. Am I heating up the jigs too much when I dip them?

This past weekend our club had their year end tourney. It was a two day. During the first day I threw mostly the dropshot and the darterhead. After day one I was in second to last place. On day 2 I changed my tactics a bit and started throwing a white crankbait. I caught my first fish on the first cast of the day. I had my limit by 9:30. Then just before 10:00 I landed the big fish of the day at 5.54. I stayed with the crankbait all day and managed to win the tourney by one tenth of a pound.

I am from Northern California, I mostly fish the sacramento Delta. I belong to the Delta Bassmasters. I have an '03 tRITON tr-20 with an Opti 225.
