The Bronco (kokanee & trout dodgers)

The J in J&K Tackle paints up a couple of new fishing dodgers then takes them out on the water for testing. We talk about colors, tape, & fishing while working on this beautiful Boise inspired design.

Bubbles could also mean you bent your needle.

Luckily the bubbling stopped after I started putting some more paint through. I always try real hard to avoid bending needles. I appreciate your input! Thank you.

@@jktacklellc excellent! It bothers me when I bump a needle without knowing it. Then I have an expensive paint mixer in my hand.

I’ve bent a few and yes… it feels like pouring gold down the tube!

@jktacklellc I'm using mostly the Iwata Custom Micron. I was doing fine detail work with the .18 which will show defect if you just tap it with the cap. Drives me batty. Which turns out to be a shorter "drive" than I originally thought.
Oh well.
Lure making is my next adventure. Fingers crossed

Most of my lure work is .5 & I use a Patriot. Makes life a little easier when using that gauge.
