The bottom bouncers I ordered showed up today via UPS.  One dozen, unpainted….inexpensive, and had the twist eye on top just how I like it.

You really don’t have to paint them, lots of folks don’t.  I do,  and in all honesty its for something to tinker with more than anything else.  If you do decide to go that route, it is best to give them a white primer coat.

Once that was done with 2 coats, where they had dried enough, and were ready for the next coat.  I did three in a forest green, three in black, 3 with cherry red, and the last three got the traditional black coat.  It really doesn’t matter what type of paint you use.  These were done with spray cans, and I have done them up with jig paint before.  I prefer the sprays just because they can take up a lot of jig paint, and it saves on the coast.  If you want them to glow though, go with the jig paint.  I kind of rushed this job, in order to have pics ready for this piece, so I have some white popping through, if it doesn’t rain tomorrow, they get another coat or two.

Its hard to find a mold for 4 oz BB’s, so getting the unpainted saves a lil’ money, plus you have the fun of painting them yourself, to your own specs.

Here is the latest from the guys at Matthew’s Bait and Tackle.  When I write that, it reminds me of “Tool Time”, when Tim Allen would say, “The guys from K&B Construction; Rock, Dwayne and Pete from Bay City”.  I don’t know why,  IT JUST DOES.
