I have noticed this as well. The solder dose not seem to hold up well. I have had the hooks spin in the jig head on several jigs. I think they are trying to meet the high demand with no quality control. Some of my older Fiska's are just fine and have taken a beating but this years Jigs seem cheaper.
Wonder if the changed their manufacturing site. Have dozens of the older ones and a couple of newer ones purchased look "cheaper". Probably find out they're now POS Chinese crap for profits sake. Starting to look elsewhere for replacements when needed. Most others that are similar are already from China, at best simply painted here
Contrasting speck of color, sometimes keep it if it looks decent otherwise it's pitched
The fiskas tungsten jigs seem to work great, nice and heavy, show up well on the vex. Havent had much of a problem with those. I just have a bunch of old ones that work great, but I am about ready to place an order until now...
