You are so welcome and thank you for your kind and encouraging words! I really appreciate it. I too pray God speaks to the hearts of those that hear the gospel here and that they might come to know Christ! Thanks so much for watching and may God bless you richly brother!

Amen, and thanks so much for watching! God bless!

Yes we are! Thank you and God bless you as well!

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your heart with me. I'm really glad that you found the video a help as well and your encouragement means a great deal! The only thing you have to watch for with making your own lures is that it can be so much fun that it can get out of hand and you will have to buy more boxes to store them. LOL. I pray that God continues to use this channel for his glory and that others might find his grace through the simple message that I share. Please pray for that if God brings it to mind. Thanks again so much for sharing and for watching and may God bless you richly my brother!

@@thefrugalsportsman - where are you based? I do a fair amount of travel and would love to meet up sometime, do some fishing and talk about our Father!

That's a great tip. Especially for the smaller eyes on things. Thanks for watching and God bless you!

You are totally welcome and I hope the video was a help to you! I think jig heads whether I fish them in fresh or saltwater are one of the most effective ways to catch fish. As you said they catch all types of fish and my biggest catfish was out of the Manitoba River in Canada and was 33" on a 3/8 oz. jig, so I know as you do that they catch catfish as well. I've never really taken the time to determine if there is a better catch ratio with eyes as compared to without them, but I have two thoughts. One is that I think the eyes make for a more realistic presentation and could be that small, but added feature that might trigger a fish to strike. Two is that I tend to fish jig heads (and bucktails) with eyes because I have more confidence in them and so I fish them more which produces more fish. It kind of works backwards, but it works! I think color is probably more important than the eye, but I think the right color (try pink the next time you go out) with eyes can be a powerful combination. Just my two thoughts and I hope it was helpful to you! Thanks so much for your encouragement as well. I pray that God continues to use the messages in my videos to touch the hearts of those seeking him. Thanks so much for watching and sharing and may God bless you richly!

Thanks so much! Here is an Amazon link that has both the larger and smaller size hoses in a combo set: www.amazon.com/Arnold-Handheld-Fuel-Line-Variety/dp/B002XZI7AU/ref=sr_1_8?crid=IMDUUIP9ODQ3&keywords=1%2F16+gas+line&qid=1646618705&sprefix=1%2F16+gas+line%2Caps%2C78&sr=8-8 I hope that helps! Thanks so much for watching and may God bless you!

Hi Chuck. Here is a link to company that makes the paint I used www.csipaint.com/products/liquid-coatings/vinyl-paint-lure-jig-finish.php. If you go to the bottom of the web page it has a list of dealers like Cabelas and Bass Pro Shops that carry it. Hope that helps! Thanks for watch and may God bless you and your day!

Eres tan bienvenido. gracias por mirar y que Dios los bendiga!

Thanks so much for watching and sharing your support brother and may God bless you richly!

I bake the jig heads for 20 minutes at 350 degrees and that works fine for me. Hope that helps! Take care and God bless!

Not at all. I just file any little nibs off because I think it makes for a nicer finished product. The fish won't mind one bit either way. Thanks so much for watching and may God bless you!

If you are using the vinyl paint then you have to use a special vinyl paint thinner. here is a link for you: www.basspro.com/shop/en/component-systems-vinyl-lure-and-jig-paint-thinner?hvarAID=shopping_googleproductextensions&ds_e=GOOGLE&ds_c=Shop%7CBPS%7CTopPerformers%7CFishing&gclid=Cj0KCQjwma6TBhDIARIsAOKuANykzELwngCNut2SAaiuWczl7Ro2p35oBM9Rbdy9z_I2fZYuBQtiPCoaAiovEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds Hope that helps! Thanks for watching and God bless!

Do you have to use the paint thinner?

That's a good question to ask. I only bake the jigs with the powder coated paint as it seems to make the paint tougher and less resistant to chipping. The vinyl paint has a different consistency and heat might destroy the the eyes so there is no need to heat up the jigs again. I hope that explanation helps and thanks for bringing that up to help clarify for others. Thanks too for watching and may God bless you!

@@thefrugalsportsman Thanks man, for telling me I hope I will learn from my mistakes and hope it will help me. What I did wrong was I powder coat the jig and then put the eye white color on and the black eye and then put it in the oven which made it smear.

You are so welcome. Don't worry that you made a mistake or two that's how we all learn the best. Just keep at it and you will be doing great in no time. Glad I could be of help! Take care and God bless!

@@thefrugalsportsman Thanks you for the advice.

I believe I bought it at Tractor Supply Company. You should be able to find a weed wacker fuel line kit at most box stores or a place like ace hardware. It comes with several different size hoses and I think a fuel filter. Hope that helps! Thanks so much for watching and may God bless you!

That's a great tip! Thanks for taking the time to share it! Thanks too for watching and may God bless you!

I've caught lots of fish with jigs without eyes, but with that being said I prefer the eyes on my jigs. I think the extra detail adds more realism and fish normally strike the head of a baitfish and I feel the eyes on there can sometimes make the difference. Thanks for watching and God bless!

The vinyl paint I use was given to me so it cost me nothing. I do like the consistency of it through as it loads onto the tubes and allows me to do several eyes before reloading again, plus it dries really fast. If you found a brand name of paint that is cheaper, but with similar properties I'd love to hear about it. I'm all for saving money! Thanks for watching and God bless!

Thank you so much Ed for you encouraging words and prayer! I really appreciate it! Thank you again and God bless you!
