Ask a tuna?

Nice selection. I just started ordering some stuff from Japan. Been a bit squeamish ordering from Ali. Years ago I ordered some stuff and had all my info stolen. Much easier to do these days through paypal or single use cards.
did you mention which ali group you ordered through?

And now how do you feel about enforced MSRP for goods made in china

I've ordered several times from Temu and the shipping time is approximately 10 days. This is fishing and non-fishing products.

You mean it’s like buying Shimano?

And feedback on these prices. I don't get out a lot. How do these compare with the other places that sell jigs?

I wonder if they're through-wired. What did you use to check the jigs you use now? Hacksaw or blow torch? Oh.. wait a second, these are jigs, not sinkers. They're not the same thing.

Sorry, I don't sell anything. Not a tackle store.

If you have any doubts pull on them with a scale. I would say they should withstand 3-4x you drag setting. So if you fish a 20 lb drag with a full spool, it will be 40-60 lb when most of the line is off. Add a dynamic factor and the lure should survive a 60-100 lb load. You can buy a cheap digital scale off amazon for under $20. Another way to look at this is that it should survive a load equal to the line test of the top shot.

Screw that. I've got a 2600# bucket loader and 660# farm scale. Have you ever done any of this stuff or do you just make shit up? I'm going to pull on a few until they break.

Not a big deal to pull 100# on a hand scale. If it can hold that, it should hold a BFT. You don't need a tractor and 600 # scale. However, pulling on it until failure would be good test. If it was my buy, I would test them and I am not making it up. Its not rocket science.
