In 2015, MagicTails received a request from a customer to create Tog jigs. They initially started with the Banana jig, but after some usage, they made modifications based on feedback. Quality control is crucial for MagicTail, so all their products undergo thorough testing.
After using the Banana Jig, it became evident that the collar hindered the catching ability. The crab wouldn't sit well on the hook, and bait was easily removed. This led to the creation of the Game Changer Tog jig.
Several key factors have made this Tog Jig highly sought after in the market. Firstly, MagicTails was the first to remove the collar, exposing more of the hook for better bait presentation. They also flattened the bottom of the jig, allowing it to sit flat on the seabed with the hook facing upwards. This angled position enables the tog to feed without sensing the lead weight.
In addition, they replaced the weaker Jig hooks with a custom 3407 black nickel Mustad hook and added a brass eye. The Game Changer Tog Jig is currently available in white legger, green crab, and chartreuse/orange color variations.
Features List:
- Collar removed for superior bait presentation
- Flattened bottom design to ensure the jig sits flat on the seabed
