Basehole Pins?

[mtn lures]

I use the dial rod cut in 1/2 inch sections and put it in the base hole pin when powder coating to keep the paint out of the hole so it is easy to get the fiberguard in the base hole. Works great.

I just power paint with nothing in the pin hole. After curing I use a drill bit held with a pair of vice grips to open up the hole large enough for the fiber guard. Epoxy on the end of the fiber and insert. Low tech, but works for the small numbers of jigs I do for bass.
