Very true, but if the jig dosn't sink correctly, no amount of s factor will make the cheapies work. Test them, take out the side cutters and trim and excess weight off the nose (if sinking to nose heavy) then they will work, better.
PS If they sink arse first, its the bin, unless you can be bothered crimping weights on.

a little birdy told me you lost about $50 in jigs at Flinders the other day :shock:
I'll catch this bird for you, but it ain't gonna be easy.
Bad fish. Not like goin' down to the pond and chasin' bluegills or tommy-cods.
$10,000 for me, by myself. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing.

Yes the one you gave lives there now :cry: :cry:

It caught probably 100 squid with me, and that was it's last retirement session. It caught 5 from 30cm hood to about 40cm hood. Heaps of small ones in between. It was pretty much wrecked but still working.
Fishgods have it now!!!!

Thanks, Mitch!!!!
