(Shore) Jigs from China bought at aliexpress (unpainted) and Major Craft Jigpara jigs (painted) (normal/regular, semilong, short)

Short, regular/normal and semilong

They have painted jigs, too. I bought them in silver.

2.a) Hart

Akula, Touch, xl Blade and Weepy. The Touch was advertised as for "slow pitch jigging" and the other 3 types for "jigging". The Akula looks similar to the River2Sea / R2S Spike. I paid 7-9 Euro for the 90-200g sizes.

2.b) James Cook

The german tackle shop chain Bode has JamesCook jigs in different varities. The High Deep looks similar to the Williamson Benthos. I paid ~4-5 Euro for the 100-200g sizes and caught some Amberjacks and Blackfin Trevally with them. The hooks are trash.

Casting jigs & jigminnows

 Hi,

As a saltwater greenhorn, who has to buy his stuff online because I rarely come across well assorted shops, I really like pictures to compare different lure models and sizes, to have a better understanding of what I get.

Owner #3.5 (80 lb), bottom left, and 2x unknown (Shout #4 and #5?)

Countbass solid ring vs Owner Solid #4

Breaking test - Xesta Size 1
with thick braid (for easier and faster handling), which is not realistic. I bet it will deform and break a bit earlier with fine braid. I just wanted to get an idea, as there is no pound test/rating given by the company for size 1 and below. The pictures show the deformation at 7.5 kg, 10 kg and 12.5 kg. Two rings resisted 15 kg and broke at 17.5 kg.

Split rings:
