Hmmm you’re in the right depth. Just a matter of time and you will get onto them I suppose.
I have been catching a lot of squid lately and the white never seems to fail :thumbsup:

Quality doesnt mean expensive or cheap

Stuff thats faulty can be expensive sometimes

They rust the same as a black magic hook. Anyway it's not like you can't buy replacement crowns for them

Have you tried to put replacement Crowns? Ive tried and it isn't that ease but I may not be doing it right. To get the right temp to loosen the crown glue and not affect the Jig Body itself is hard to achieve. I have a couple of favourite Gancraft Colours that either have bugger all barbs left or I'm too scared to use. For a company that is meant to provide Quality gear this is disappointing.
