BERKLEY BOY75

Both Hurley and I fish together a lot!

Hurley was the one who taught me how to tie jigs. We are always experimenting on new jigs, colors, and bobbers

I use his jig molds all the time to pour my heads. I help him from time to time if he needs some jigs wrapped when he out of town. Or when he runs out of material, we share what materials I may have. You can get the powder paint down at Bob's in Longview. I used to use nothing but fingernail polish until I started using the powder paints. I still use a lot on nail polish to get the "right" colors. The powder paints can't come up with some of the colors that I can get from using the fingernail polish colors.

One thing that works great for me, is when I use the pearl white powder paint, I coat my final coat (head and wrap) with pearl white fingernail polish. That works great with other similar colored powder paints also. On the colors that I can't match with the powder paint, I use clear fingernail polish for the final head and wrap coat.

I hope that this will help you if you wrap your own jigs.

As far I am concern, you can't buy a better jig then hurley's jigs, or the price that he sells them for!
