I really hope so. Finally got the jighead design I wanted and played around with the airbrush today and settled in on a paint pattern. the silver looking area is actually a metallic light blue that really sets the jighead off but the pictures did not pick it up. The whole jighead is metallic as well. Its not perfect but I am really happy with it. Gonna wire tie the skirts and call them done in a few. These swim jigs have a stout Gamakatsu flipping hook so they should hold up to big bass I hope.

No, I don't think a bass would eat that.
I think they would obliterate it!
Great looking work sir. I trust a big Fork or Bridgeport bass will feel the sting of that Gammy soon.
