Are Chinese metal jigs good enough for saltwater?
Short answer
The body is a casting and castings are consistent. What decides the saltwater answer is the hardware: rings, hooks and the plating, each of which needs a named corrosion standard.
In detail
An order that states salt-spray hours for every metal part can support the claim; one that states it only for the body cannot.
