The new Platinum baits have a mesh running through the middle of the baits to keep this from happening. The magnet is also solid mounted in the weight harness. Jason has worked to fix the problems in the first run of baits. He has taken care of the people also, so contact him before you bash the baits. All the bait makers are trying hard to bring baits for us to fish and they have all had their problems, Huddleston-paint, Rago-tails, Spro-fins, Castaic-joints they all fixed the problems for US.
