Lindy jig PSA

Buddy up nort had some complaining about some jigs bending on him at leech not long ago and have had poor quality in the past w northland jigs, fast forward this weekend w some fuzzegrubs that bent on couple hooksets, thought maybe they were snags but after 3rd one grabbed the hook and sure enough could bend it any which way I wanted w ease. Frustrating.

Check ur hooks so u don’t lose that big fall fish! Tight lines

Edit: jigs were bought from one-stop in longville, not many places carry them anymore!

That is frustrating. Do you think it is a bad batch where the hooks missed the heat treatment or the product just has gone downhill?

Bad batch, seen it b4 5yrs ago w northland jigs.

Doesn’t seem like lindy even has a site anymore, didn’t Google too hard but it goes right to distributor sites.

Bought some Northland jigs this year had good luck with them. Had the same issue a few years back they would snap in half.

Chinses knock off, there is fake line also floating around. They knock off everything.

You think a retailer would get knockoffs?

If it is cheaper (better profit margin) and looks the same they might. If they knew about the hook problem they may not.
