Tonio.
Thanks Bro.
Yeah I changed the lugs on the Macho, because, The Gon Bops Lugs are weak. They are unable to handle high tensions for long periods of time. I love the design concept but they will open up on you. One time, while I was practicing, I suddenly heard a Loud Thudd. I thought it was the skin, but instead, it was that one of the lugs opened up and slipped off a Dog Ear.
The Gon bops Lugs would be great with thin Goat, or Horse. But keep them away from anything else.
I have found that LP, and LP Matador Lugs are truly Remarkable, in that they can handle just about anything. I am even Using Matador lugs on my Isla Requinto, which I have set up with Mule Skin. Even atfer leaving it under High Tension for two weeks, for testing purposes, Nothing has changed. Everything is still Beautiful. So I'm convinced.
Tonio. What type of surgery are you having?
Let me know Bro.
Charlie.
