Compared to any other lure or even temu jigheads they mediocre, they bend horribly easy and they are made of a soft metal from how easy it was to flatten the barb.
My whiptails treble cut down to a singles base bent before the hook..

That’s not a jig…
Just get rooster tails homie, this is not a jig btw
That there sure isn’t a trout magnet. Definitely a Panther Martin or other inline spinner though.
What are you catching with em? Whatever it was put the hurt on that not-a-jig
That’s a basic misunderstanding of how the lure gets stressed when fighting a fish. The wire has to be thin enough and soft enough to make the appropriate bends and long enough to allow the body of the lure to not put pressure on the clevis so that the blade spins properly.
When a fish takes the bait, depending on how it is hooked the body slides up the shaft and the only place that it can flex is below the body. The wire has to be soft to make the twists in the shank and therefore it has to give somewhere.
Just bend it back before you make your next cast. Slide bend it so the body slides up and down smoothly and fish on.
