I've been using a stolen bottle of the wife's nail polish for this batch. I've put three coats on the jigs so far. I noticed she spent a day in the water with the kids last fall and her nails stayed nice all day..
So among the guys that use nail polish, how do you find it holds up in the salt water, and how many coats do you normally use?
Saltheart, I like the idea of light applications as I wrap, because (as you say) I'm usually using at least 4 clumps of bucktail as I go. I'd thought to do that, but wasn't sure how it would be wrapping the rest of the jig. I'm going to try that on the next batch.
When you dip in rust-oleum, do you put any sort of primer over the bare lead? Most of the jigs I'm making are for fluke fishing, but I will probably use them in the canal too. I'm wondering if it chips off easily..
