Lead 

To minimise our ecological footprint, we only use clean, recycled lead which is sourced from a variety of places.

I am always on the lookout to purchase clean lead from around the Perth metropolitan area. I am happy to pay $2 per kg for clean lead. If you have any you would like to sell please contact me via email:

Hooks

All of our jigs are made from premium brand jig hooks, such as Eagle Claw, Gamakatsu, Mustad and Owner.

Powder Coating

Premium powder paint, oven baked at 180 degrees, extremely hard wearing and vibrant. 

Clear overcoat is now standard on all of our heads, for improved finish durability. Purple Candy, Chrome and Black coloured heads do not have a clear coat, as it dilutes the main colour.

Glow coloured heads feature a three-step colour process, undercoat, main colour and clear overcoat.
