repainted a surface iron
 

i got some jigs from a dude on ebay for a good price, some were pretty new, a couple swim real nice!, and a couple were beat up. one had a pea size spot of paint left, and was all corroded, the hook broke off when i put a little pressure on it. kinda looked like it was in the ocean for a year or two! (forgot to take a before picture) so i lightly sanded all the white corrosion off the jig and repainted it! was going for a classic blue and white color, but while at home depot i went for the metallic blue! looked cool and was .50 cents more or so.. when i got home i noticed that my white spray paint was actually gray, so gray and blue it is!! (figure if i didnt like it id just re-do it..) added a little red for fun and added the 7/0 siwash hook. curious to see the action with the siwash, but i figure it'll be nice for cuda fishing when they're thick.

i have another one from that lot that could be redone, but not sure what color and siwash or treble. hmmmm..

That looks pretty dag-gone good to me. I like the touch of red at the tip. Did you use rustoleum?

thnx! the blue and red are, not sure what the gray was. i guess we'll see how long it lasts!

Looks like a winner, good job on the recycle...why not? I do...:reel:plus it brings out one's creativity...plus when you catch one on it it will be cool...

Nice job Mikey. Looks pretty cool.

nice I was going to get out the airbrush this weekend but I may just go with the reliable rattle can after seeing your work.
