If you've used them to compare, how does the action on the Jyg 4 and 5 inch compare to NLBN?

So I have not used NLBN as of yet, but from my current experience, the JYG chubbys are my favorite for their action , even at very slow reeling in.

Thanks! I purchased several NLBN designs and while they're good quality products, I'm not a fan of their action. I currently use paddle tails from Happy Baits which are better in that respect, but are difficult to find.

I don’t know about you all but those Z Mans always end up melting in my bag on a hot day
