Hi Luke ,

May be this helps ;

It is a bit far but Bali is the place one can find lots of heavy jigs due to their jigging locations are deep and lots of strong current , pricewise their jigs and in particular VIRUS jigs are reasonable when compared to equivalent jigs in weight n quality .

The only probem with shipping jigs are that they are heavy so may incure hefty postage charge .
