Hammerhead tobi123 Wiring completely stuffed

(1/4) > >>

Garry Wong:
Guys,
i bought a brand new Hammerhead tobi 123 last month and finnally manage to hooked the only GT on my last trip on that lure.(only 5kg baby model)
i notice after that the lure action is slightly change and the lure often sink. after the finishing the day and inspection the lure carefully i found that the wiring is completely stuffed/completely losed and it spins 360 degree very easily.
being a premium quality/price lure, i really expect the best out of it and does not expect this sort of thing to happen(altough i still understand this can happend to any lures)
upon getting in contact with the seller in US i was advised that there is nothing he can do nor he believe hammer head will hounour it as a warranty as there are no such thing after the lure is used.
maybe some of you guys have simmilar experience here

Mark Harris:
I was with Garry when he caught that little fish, and was stunned to see the Hammerhead wiring ruined - very loose and free-spinning 360 degrees. The lure was brand new. Sort of thing you expect from a very cheap lure but not a Hammerhead.

Angus Hulme:
Garry, if you don't want the lure and have no further use for it, you are welcome to send it to me!  ;)

From my experience, it seems to be quite easy for lure wiring to get stretched a bit, especially when the lure is very long. And obviously, the thinner the gauge of wire used , the easier it is to stretch and distort while under stress.

I reckon Chris Young will be the man to ask about this issue, his Fullscales have the best wiring I've seen on a GT lure.

Brandon Khoo:
Garry, unfortunately that is fairly common with Hammerheads as well as a couple of other premium Japanese lures which i will decline to name.

This just tells me not to buy hammerheads, thanks for the info Garry
