This interview was eye opening, I don’t mind admitting I was blown away by the technical knowledge dumped into the lens by Tom. Big thank you to Daiwa for the insight!
How much does Tom Slater know, such an unassuming bloke but is putting Australia on the world stage of tackle design. Well done Tom and kudos to your efforts over the years working on products that are coming through and doing well.
I know this wasn't an ad but I ma 100000% sold on this. I cannot believe how much attention to detail there is. Doing what Tom does sounds like a dream job to me. Love the part at 21:53 cuz it is definitely me. but not for long. keep it up!!
Loving the return of videos Byron ! Hope you are well moving to America now ! Love the new Daiwa jig heads brought a heap of them to replace my older jig heads
This was fantastic, I love these sort of deep dive videos. Maybe because I’m a bit of a gear junkie or maybe it’s because I love the creative process, or even a bit of both. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Great video, mate. Yes, I tried the jigheads out yesterday, and there was no sliding down the jighead, no more super glue needed or lifting the plastic over the jighead eye, and yep, even caught some fish and did not move thanks 👍 for the heads up
No way! Ha, that’s awesome to hear mate. Love it when you guys have the same experience. Often enjoy it when you don’t also, but no more superglue around the boat I’d a good thing!
Been looking forward to this video, they have definitely produced a very high quality product, love using them, and slowly replacing my TT jig heads, can't wait till they release a weedless and a hidden weight hook, great video Byron,
@@ByronTeaHill I was a bit of a self described sceptic for a while, but I finally decided to give them a go. The confidence I had that the lure isn't going to "slip" down for me is the thing that I liked most. Very keen to see what they are going to release next!
Pretty cool to actually get these insights on how it happens. Obviously i feel personally targeted by 29min mark of this vid haha but also stoked to hear weedless is on its way ... maaad keep up good work lads .🤙
@@ByronTeaHill I got email this week bout 23/24 product release if it's not in there BTH I'm gunna sook like every other tom, dick and Harry on interwebbs hahaha 🤙🤙
Brilliant video mate, would love to see more of of these deep dives on tackle tech if other companies are willing to share. I agreed with you on Instagram about the company that does the copy and paste on everyone else’s lures…. And you blocked me 😅🥲 First packet of these I got is for my Jewie fishing off the beach and estuary entrance. The way the big plastics sit on the bottom with the jig head design… you can feel the difference, the way the plastics tail vibrates in the current rather than just sitting flat on the bottom/or dead vertical and not letting the tail thump. And the keeper is brilliant for keeping your plastics when crabs are around

Totally agree Rob.
The industry is seriously lucky to have Tommy leading the way, can't wait to see what him and the team go on to do next!
I agree mate!
That’s very kind of you mate. Appreciate it.
Great interview, Diana are doing a great job servicing the Aussie market.
Amazing to be brought into the development of something we normally just find on the rack.

Glad you enjoyed it!
As a mechanical engineer, love this content. Diawa stepping up big time with the RnD
I didn’t know that Matt! I get why you’d love this

Mate that’s great to hear, I hope you have a great experience but remember be your own judge!

Dude I loved making it for the same reasons. Such a privilege and an insight.

Wow!!!, What a mind some of these high level fisherman have... Such attention to detail. Grest video 👌🏽
Truely impressive hey dude
Brilliant. Thank u. 👍😎
No problem 👍
Great vid can’t wait to win those jig heads and the box
Hahaha, good luck buddy!
Been looking forward to this video, they have definitely produced a very high quality product, love using them, and slowly replacing my TT jig heads, can't wait till they release a weedless and a hidden weight hook, great video Byron,
Thanks Anthony! I can’t wait to see if they go down that path also.
This was really fascinating.
Glad you enjoyed it legend
I can see why he's proud of them. Who knew so much went into the making of a jig head?
Not Just... 'A hook and a bit of lead'...

Do love the stickers - makes my tackle box legible rather than the thick sharpey writing.
Cool vid, thanks BTH
My pleasure mate!
@@ByronTeaHill There wouldn't be many anglers out there who couldn't learn something from this vid. Daiwa for the win!!!!
Already got the posca's out and drawn eyeballs on mine.
hahahaaha interesting they are in a few of the earlier models... and tom and I avoid talking about them...
Pretty cool to actually get these insights on how it happens. Obviously i feel personally targeted by 29min mark of this vid haha but also stoked to hear weedless is on its way ... maaad keep up good work lads .🤙
Haha, he didn’t say weedless was on its way… he didn’t 😂😂😂

lol... @daiwaaustralia well?
Talk about a NED head, i thought the name was a reference to Ned Kelly!
Lol rob. Start the rumour! Yeah mate, USA technique /)
Hey Mr Byron. Sorry for asking. What size jig head should i use for a 2.5 inch bait junkie minnow?
good insights
These will be next on my list for sure, until now l just thought lead on a hook..
What's the company that's ripping off other companies designs?
One of the major ones
@@ByronTeaHill does it start with B and ripping of one starting with H?
Brilliant video mate, would love to see more of of these deep dives on tackle tech if other companies are willing to share.
