In 2015, MagicTails received a request from a customer to create Tog jigs. They initially started with the Banana jig but quickly realized the need for modifications. Quality testing is an essential part of the product development process at Magictail. After using the Banana Jig, they discovered that the collar was hindering the catching ability as it did not allow the crab to sit well on the hook and bait could easily be taken off.
As a result, the game changer Tog jig was born. This jig has become highly sought after due to a few key factors. Firstly, MagicTails was the first to remove the collar and expose more of the hook, enabling better bait presentation. They also flattened the bottom of the jig, allowing it to sit flat on the seabed with the hook facing upwards and angled, ensuring that the tog can eat without feeling the weight of the lead.
In addition, the weaker Jig hooks were replaced with a custom 3407 black nickel Mustad hook and a brass eye was added for added strength and durability. Currently, the MagicTail Game Changer Tog Jig is available in three color variations: white legger, green crab, and chartreuse/orange.
