Thats the difference between a good jig and a hunk of lead. As it bends the surface of the jig bends at a different rate than the finish and the two materials separate.
I have seen thousands of jigs from all over the world. To me a good jig has a three part finish - glow paint, holographic foil and a touch of color. The metal mix to make a jig hard, but not so hard its brittle, is tough.
But that soft lead costs about half of what a good tri-metal jig costs to make. The tri-metal giving smoothness, weight and hardness.
