Default Making & Painting Parachute Lures

With the snow I had a chance to test out the homemade fluid bed. Light weight brown paper lunch bags were used as the filter bed membrane. It worked great!!!!
Took a few minutes to get familiar with the adjustments. For my first time making and painting jig heads/ trolling lures. I think they turned out great. Bullets are 3,4,5,6 OZ
Ruby Lips are 2,3,4,5 OZ.

I am using Protec Powder paint. I heated the jig heads in toaster oven for roughly 10 min at 390F then dipped in the paint which is fluffed up using an air pump and a fluid bed. This is my First time painting using this method. Spynett gave me a lot of tips. I am still getting familiar with the process. I have a ton of different colors but for my first attempt I stayed with the normal verities. Once painted, they are cured in the oven again. Once fully cured the finish is rock hard and extremely chip resistant. I will try tying the hair on this week. I will also try some different color combinations. Maybe even a triple dip Shawn Kimbro Candy corn color scheme
