Willamson jigs????

Do you guys use the hooks it comes with or do you swap them out for something differant. I used them twice with no problems(but nothing over 45lbs either) , my buddies all swap over to Owner.

I tried using them from factory and using different assist. Did not have much luck either way with those jigs personally.

I exclusively use williamson jigs for casting and for jigging. Surface iron works wonders sometimes. Always use the factory hooks on it as well and never had a problem.

I use Williamson for Black Fin because they will eat almost any jig..
But use Raptor hooks because I can.

I have had issues with the solid rings that came with the Williamson jigs. They are flatter than most solid rings and have cut through my leader a few times. I've seen some that almost look like steel washers. I've never had any issues with their hooks.

Those are river2sea jigs.

True,
I use raptor hooks on them also.

Small travel pack I currently have on hand just in case...

I've caught one Black Jack on the Williamson Benthos jig, but nothing on the Abyss jigs. I did use the supplied assist rig, but after preparing for next weekend AJ fest, I threw them out and upgraded to my own homemade assist hooks. I don't want to risk having my mono cut cuz of that pressed solid ring.
