Un-fortunately, this has been happening to the road runners for a while. I've had a lot of my customers switch to the ones I started pouring. I make my own pony heads, with Mustad Ultra-Point BLN hooks. They are more rust resistant since they are nickel plated. I believe many store bought jigs still use bronze hooks. Bronze hooks are notorious for rusting if not dried thoroughly before closing the lid.
