Hi gibbo,

IMO nitros are hard to beat. Sharp and strong.

They are a top head.

There will likely be many views on this topic.

Hi gibbo,

Like the others said they are good!!!

They are more x e than squidgies but worth it IMO.

For a basic guide go here: http://members.dodo.net.au/~hannersley/Nitro.html

I hope this helps

I think i should be a sales person for Kingpin LoL

I use his 'Jiggy Jigs' and couldnt be happier

I used Gamma and squidgie hooks but found them to be not as sharp and they where to weak.

Daves hooks are very sharp and wont bend on you in a hurry and IMO for the price ya cant go wrong

check them out!

chears, Nathan

For the $$$$ I think the squidgy hooks are pretty good value, especially the Finesse range. I landed my big bream at the Perth comp on the Finesse head.

We were chatting to Buschy up in Taree and I told him how impressed I was with the finesse heads. His reply was that is all he uses too. He landed all his fish on them in the Taree comp and he came in at 2nd place behind Tim Morgan.

The finesse range are a thicker guage than the original jigs, although I still use them and don't find they bend as often as people say they do, where as I have had gammas open up on me occasionally too, as will all jigs.

I choose the jig depending on what plastic I am throwing, what depth, what structure and the current.

Cheers

Mim
