snake 1 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 what colour squid jag catches more squid? i like red but a mate only uses green and does well or does it not really matter, maybe size is more important! any thoughts on the matter? cheers snake afishyfish 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Savagelip 4 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Any cheap'o ones, green works best for me, or pin a tommy on a pin jag under a float Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skudded 0 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 I was out the other week, between everyone on the jetty there were about 6 Jags in relatively close quarters. I had a fresh fish on a jag as well. I caught 1 squid, a guy with a blue jag with a small red light in it caught 5. I went and brought one afterwards lol. The other jags around his didnt get touched either, was his first time using the Jag and it really paid off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mind u my 80 plus cm squid came from a 3.5 blue jagg. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spog777 1 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Ive got a home made one thats white bellied, red head, orange top - tapering to white on sides with black bands-i like to cover all bases. I dont know if its the colours, size (#4) or slightly heavier weight or sheer dumb luck but its scored me one hell of a lot of feeds this summer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jharli 2 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I wish I knew, that way I would stop buying the bloody things. Ikeep changing them until I find one that works on the day, eachtime is different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
krustykrab 0 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Well i have always found that they like the blue or greens,and agree with savagelip......the cheapos are as good as anything, I caught a heap at wirrina one day on a $2 blue cheapo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peelin 0 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 orange for me, and green, and black, blue is good too, ummm come to think of it those multi coloured ones are good, pros swear by red head pearl body, fluro is a winner so is natural and cloth covered kills it except when smoth does..... don't get me started on style :silly: Put a turd in front of a hungry squid and it will have a crack, seriously saw one of my little bothers get eaten once :sick: IMO the thing that seperates the squid masters from the boys is the good ol tommy teaser (no hooks), thread one up chuck it out, check it regular and you will bag 3 times more squid than the average (or gun) squidder just using jags, once a squid is all fired up from the teaser you will rarely fail on the old bait and switch no matter the colour or style of your jag, especially in more heavily fished water.Just look out for the idiots chucking their jag at the squid you have teased up, those guys have no class.

clay91 3 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 In my opinion, cheapo ones will work well when the squid are taking anything, but when theyre finicky, your yo-zuri's shine Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wazza 0 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Ditto on the tommy-teaser and Yozuri comments.....you can't beat'em, and of course different colour jags seem to work better on different days....Have to agree on the success of the pearly white/red head Yozuris. The el-cheapo jags may work if the squid are relly hungry but HOW OFTEN IS THAT ? I've seen plenty of the el-cheapo jags that sit vertically in the water, ( not weighted right) instead of horizontally (like they should)and frankly I reckon the guys using them will be waiting a month of Sundays for a good bag of Calamari.As for the gate-crashers,I dropped a squid recenty whilst having it half-way up Brighton jetty, this guy rushes over and drops his jag right where it landed back in the water, I'm there "are you right mate?" He went back to where he came from but I'm sure, if I hadn't said anything he would be happy to "cash-in' on the my mis-fortune. No jetty etiquette whatsoever! .......that's my 2 cents worth, and my first post, Wazza Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cocky 0 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 squid are colour blind so what catches their eye,thats my view Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Piranha 76 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Don't bother with the tommy teaser too much mucking around and a mumbler/cod dancer works 10 times better IMO and attracts from further distances,, black jags for me but colour means nothing after teasing them in with a mumbler/cod dancer.cheers:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
