    Good point! Seems to be more of an issue with smaller jigs. Don't remember having that problem on the striper sized ones. Though I did use a fluid bed on those which might make a difference.

    Is the fluid bed is worth the money? I powder coat FNF and crappie jigs, but I use vinyl and clear coat on my bass jigs. I have been thinking of getting one but I dont know if it will be worth the money for what few things I powder coat.

    Fluid bed is great if you are doing a bunch of jigs. I used to do runs of 200-300 an afternoon, so well worth it for that. Even coats, less powder than if you dipped direct, and looked better. For a few jigs here and there, I would just dip in the powder and go. Used the vinyl stuff years ago. Once I tried the powder and got used to it, never dipped in vinyl again.

    Thanks for the input, I've been wanting one, but I dont think i really do enough to spend the money on it.
