I bought some of the Football styled one's from BPS that were already painted black. While fishing with one of the jigs. I got snagged in a tree limb, I use pretty heavy line and knew that the tree limb would break before my line would. So I bore down and pulled kinda hard....Pop, the jig broke free and I reeled in my line to inspect the jig. I looked at the jig and what do I see? The hook was broke completely off about an inch from the jig head. I have never ever broke a jig hook before that...I do believe the Football jigs were eve Gamakatsu hooks.
