[#0000FF]Lookin' good. Now you gotta figure out how to decorate them with the tubes or swim baits...and how to work them in the depths.
As you know, I prefer using the vinyl jig paints and finishing with epoxy. The powder coat paints are simple to use but tend to pop off like peanut shells the first time you ding a rock or something else solid.
Attaching some pics to show others how the "double hookers" are put together...and that sometimes it works better with the front hook down instead of having both facing up. Guys who watch macks attack tubes on camera are surprised to see that they sometimes take them "head on". That's the reason for the dual hook setup.
By the way, those "spearpoint" heads in my pics are much easier to rig with tubes. Moistening the lead with some oily fish scent first makes them slide on easier too.
Also attaching a pic of some ice jigs I made up with the double hook thing. You can use two pieces of sweetener...or only one. But by properly positioning the hook eye you get a good "horizontal hold".
