In 2015, MagicTails received a request from a specific customer to create Tog jigs. They initially started with the Banana jig but quickly made modifications based on feedback. Every product from Magictail goes through comprehensive testing.
After using the Banana Jig, it was apparent that the collar was hindering the catching ability. The crab was not able to sit well on the hook, and the bait would easily fall off. To address this issue, the game changer Tog jig was developed.
Several key factors have made the MagicTail Game Changer Tog Jig one of the most sought-after jigs in the market:
- Firstly, MagicTails was the first to remove the collar, exposing more of the hook for better bait presentation.
- The bottom of the jig was flattened to ensure it sits flush on the seabed, with the hook facing upwards and angled. This allows the tog to consume the bait without sensing any weight from the lead.
- The weaker Jig hooks were replaced with a custom 3407 black nickel Mustad hook and a brass eye for added strength.
The Game Changer Tog Jig is currently available in three colors: white legger, green crab, and chartreuse/orange.
