Cheap Ebay Jigs- Too good to be true? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I've searched the forum a bit and see a comment or two here and there-

Anybody have any experience with sellers like these?

https://www.ebay.com/usr/alltacklede...p2047675.l2559

Looking at stuff like-
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Diamond-Jig...&soutkn=MAP7vI

https://www.ebay.com/itm/4-pieces-4-...YAAOSwr81UQxYc

I'm notorious for losing artificials on bad casts or bottom snags, and was looking to stock up for my trip to Baja.

I have to admit the prices look enticing considering the seller is local and has a clone of just about everything.

My guess would be these are crappy hooks and split rings, but I'm curious if anyone has tested anything like this before. I'm also not going after bluefin, so I'm not *too* concerned about straightening a hook out. That said, I've never done so and am not looking to find out how it feels on *the* fish.

I could also imagine replacing hooks and rings would probably even out the price, cost me time and learning curve compared to just buying some shimanos, Krocs, or Tadys off the shelf.
