Boneheads were supposed to have been built to my specs and I even sent them 2 packs of the original stick guards when they were discontinued. Although they came out with them they were smaller than the original guards. I agree they are pretty flimsy and the diameter is smaller than the original. I still have about 1000 of the originals and use them when the bite is really finicky and they work very well. Like others Timmy Toms are my go to jig for fishing heavy brush.......Ranger
