Just interested to know what everyone does with their old jigs once they have been beaten up by the razor gang, lost all their colour and are looking very second hand. I like Fluro colours on mine so once it's gone I tend to stop using them.

Sometime I give mine a spray. but usually a lead looking jig works pretty well. Was nailing fish on a paintless one on wednesday day. worked just as well as one without as much love.

Some of those old ones with hardly any paint on them seem to still fish very well, I just keep going with them until finally they end up in Davy Jones locker
