  1. Brian what are you using as a baiting needle? Make sure you get a decent needle as well. The smallest crochet hooks are too big. I've used many and my current favorite is a boilie spike that I believe I got from BCT, but the gated hooks work well too.

    thats actually a good point, those old crochet ones really are not ideal for pushing through and they dont last, however, i have never really had boilies split whilst trying to mount them so it could be down to bait quality and also tools used

  2. regarding cost of hooks, if you buy a hook sharpener not only do the hooks land more fish they last way longer, i get my hooks for free but i still use the jag on them after each fish

    :-)

  3. i have several packs of the zig bugs but have not used them yet because i am mainly fishing on rivers with a fast tow and i doubt the presentation would be good, however, on lakes they are deadly and i know both alan, kevin and ronny (the main guys at nash) swear by them and actually put them out first before boilies etc.

  4. the mail companies are useless in covering them, even when they are insured and the mail carrier is to blame. id say that if all three were broken that there is an issue they were maybe already broken as normally its the rings that get battered in transit, is this not the same kid who others have had issues with also? not to hang the lad out to dry but there seems to be a pattern, when i ship my rods its in a bazooka hard case and each rod is well bubble wrapped so its cant move in the protector. hope you get it sorted.
