In 2015, MagicTails received a request from a customer to make Tog jigs. They initially started with the Banana jig but made modifications soon after. It is crucial for Magictail to thoroughly test every product they produce.
Upon using the Banana Jig, it was found that the collar actually hindered the jig's ability to catch fish. The crab wouldn't sit on the hook securely, and bait was easily removed. To address this issue, the game changer Tog jig was developed. This Tog Jig has become highly desirable due to several key factors.
Better Bait Presentation: MagicTails was the first to remove the collar, allowing for improved bait positioning. This modification exposes more of the hook, resulting in better presentation.
Optimal Bottom Placement: The bottom of the jig was flattened, enabling it to sit flat on the seabed. The hook is positioned upward and angled, allowing the tog to consume the bait without sensing the weight.
Improved hooks: Weaker jig hooks were replaced with a custom 3407 black nickel Mustad hook and a brass eye, ensuring strength and durability.
The game changer Tog Jig is currently available in white legger, green crab, and chartreuse/orange.
