Eddie bomb

[Bill B]

So with the popularity of the Eddie Bomb for bluefin jigging, a lot of attention is given to through wire eyelets for strength.  Has anyone ever seen a regular eyelet pull out or has anyone tested the force necessary to pull one out?  Or are we just playing the "what if" game.  Bill

I rig my jigs/bombs with figure 8's so there is no need to worry about the weights eyelet because the strain is on the hooks connected to the figure 8.

I have seen jig eyelets go from round to oval when direct connected, but never seen or heard of one fail.

I haven't seen on completely pull through but I have seen one pull almost all the way through....

The way that one is rigged it does not matter.

Well PJ had the answer.  "Almost pulled out"  I will be rigging them to avoid the eyelet.  Bill
