Ultra minnow...

Ok, here's my first attempt at a .5oz powder painted ultra minnow with googly eyes and bucktail! The powder paint is a pearl white with a second coating of clear silver glitter. It was a more involved process cause I had to bake the dang lead heads to give the paint a harder finish. John, your critique would help here...

Ok - gotta regulate your tension on the thread when wrapping the bucktail onto the jig head - when starting a small group of hair, wrap twice loosely, then cinch down tight, closer to the jighead, wrap TIGHT around part closet to jig headn and slight losen as you wrap towards the hook - just loose enough to not cinch down but pull the hairs down parallel with the hook, jeep wrapping and then wrap back towards the jig head and repeat until finished. -GLUE WELL

Please bake up a ton of pearl whites for me!!!!!!!! - also make a few that are pearl white, with silver glitter coat just on the top 1/3 or 1/2 of the jig head
