Given the uncontrollable variations in quality by the manufactures of hook adapters that we were using in the production of our swim jigs we will no longer be using hook adapters with Gamakatsu Round bend worm hooks in our 1/4 oz through 7/8 oz swim jig line.
We have decide to make the leap and improve the quality of our products by commissioning a 28 degree hook from Gamakatsu that maintains the true running action of our swimjig line while supplying a factory tempered Black nickel steel hook that had the sticky sharp factory point and the durability that could only come from a factory tempered hook.
We briefly pondered using standard hooks and heating them to modify the bend. Unfortunately that process while much less expensive jeopardized hook strength. We would have traded one problem for another.
The only way to insure a strong sharp hook was to have one made that would meet the expectations of our customers. It is probably the worst kept secret in the state but now it’s out of the bag.
For those of you that have bought BROVARNEYBAITS swimjigs in the past you will note that the insert card in the packaging for swimjigs with the new hook is a bright yellow instead of the old model with the pale yellow cards.
At this time we may be a little slower than usual with our delivery because we are no longer shipping the old style hook. We should be caught up soon and back to our quick ship standard for both standard and custom jigs.
As always we thank you for your support and look forward to providing you with the best product that we can.
