jon - i haven't heard of moonta before. i just looked it up on the web and found the following map -

moonta is on the yorke penisula. its well known for squid fishing.
to be honest i think the type of jig you use is not so important in South Australia. your customer probably just had good technique and was surrounded by beginners. of all the reports i have heard of people bagging out while others catch nothing around them (and i have not heard that many in the 4 years i have run this site), it has always been an experienced jigger who knows his/her stuff. the colman jigs are not much different to the other jigs sold here in australia. e.g. yamashita, yo-zuri etc.
on the topic of durability. have you tested how long your jigs last before they start to show signs of corrosion? i have never seen this sort of information from a jig maker before. only anecedotal experience from the jigs i have owned myself.
cheers, glen
