You might find some stuff on tackle underground or ebay. I had several jig molds that I no longer used and sold them to guys on tackle underground.

You can build your own fluid bed for minimal money. PVC pipe fittings and an aquarium air pump. Here is one I built for about $50.

What I did was invest about $350. It bought me a mold, pot, lead, hooks, brush guards, skirts, rattles,fluid bed, heat gun, powder paint and flux. i was ready to go. Im at two molds now. Working on getting myself three more soon.

How does a fluid bed work. In the picks Beer has the PVC has powder paint up to the top on some of the tubes. Does the powder come shooting up out of the tube? I have seen several different types but never one in action. Please explain the process and how it is more beneficial than just dipping a hot jig in the jar of powder.

The paint is in the containers. Each container is hooked up to a low pressure air pump. Air is pumped into the containers making the paint "float". Dipping into it does not pack it down like dipping into a regular jar.
