Is this harder to make than a plastic bait?
Short answer
It is different rather than harder.
In detail
A plastic bait is one mould; a bladed jig is five parts from three kinds of supplier, and the price is decided where they are joined.
The numbers behind this answer
| Part | Function | Who makes it |
