Have the two jig heads from the UK (125gm & 150gm) made a couple up useing 4/0 hooks which appear a little on the small side tried to buy some 5/0 hooks but there aren't any available so I've got some comeing from the States expect them to be here this week.Had a play with the ones I made and the Gulp crab fits good but the Mr Twister is better as I could slide the arm part over the barb on the jig head to hold it on. Also found that it may possibly work better with a short (200cm)trace tied to the eye of the jig head hook with a float with a curly tail grub on it.Had a cast with the jig head at the local park and did not loose much distance,so I'd say an average caster like myself should be able to toss it out about 120-130mtres.If the weather is favourable will try it out at Wattle Bay next weekend.
