wishing2Bfishing 0 Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 yea cool, i will certainly give it a try next time i go out, i had heard that squid were canibalistic (? not sure if that is how u spell it :dry: ) but hadnt thought to berley for them before.i bought a rod from ray and annes this morning that my uncle is bringing back to whyalla today, i should have bought one of those squid jags to try as well, i forgot about it. i will see if my local can order it in, otherwise just buy it online.U4L...that is interesting that you sell alot, i might have to give them a bit more of a chance, i have a two toned browny yellowy sort of colour yozuri that i have tried a few times with no success, might get me a black and give it a flick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wahoo 146 Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 My favouite Squid jig is the one that's working on the day & I've had success on all manner of jigs over the years, colours from transparent to dark (deep!!) purple and all sizes, even brought some really tiny things with one set of pins in Palau a few years ago & they work on their day.On the boat I tend to have a Tommy on a Squid Witch on the handline & cast & retrieve a jig. Leave the jig rod in a holder when eating lunch, the bouncing up & down often brings in a few more & interrupts my feeding time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Caterpillar 1 Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 From my experience, which is far, far less than many of you fine ladies and gentlemen, I have found no matter the size, it is invariably a green colour that gets the tentcales in a tangle. I don't know why (as someone mentioned, I was lead to believe that they were colourblind).A good example of this was a couple of weeks ago at Ardrossan. Boyfriend and I were using multicolour/white jigs and getting diddly. A guy about 3 metres away had a green jig and was getting squiddly. (I might add the reason I had no greens on me was due to the fact that earlier in the day some delightful person at Wallaroo decided to abscond with my tackle box. Not. A. Happy. Woman).

southie THE BANGA 2,304 Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 when fishingany jetties down yorkes its a must to have a green jag or a blue one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wishing2Bfishing 0 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 yea, when i was at wool bay once there was this old fella using a small blue jag on a handline and he wasnt just casting and retrieving but chucking it out every now and again. dont know exactly was he was doing but he comprehensivly outfished me with my pink jag. it is an odd thing the way they take different jags, i would love to know whats going on in there head when they refuse one but smash another, especially ones that have colours that are like nothing they would normally be hunting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kingsley 19 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Here's a colour chart based on water clarity and feeding activity, notice pink is smack in the middle (good all rounder).I've heard the squid like the dark colours and black because they cast a good silhouette, so its more about seeing the outline of the jag more than the jag itself in some cases.I almost exclusively use the cheapie pink jags and a couple of yo zuris in orange/green, and pink/black. 4THALOVE and wishing2Bfishing 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TT 2 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Forgot to add the Gan Craft Jigs.In my personal opinion these are the 'BEST' Jigs on the Market.Made by the dudes over at Gladiator Tackle and are bulit on that Japanese Quality.Finishes are Killer, Great Action and a Great Colour Range!They are so good only problem is they are a tad hefty on the Wallet $$$! :dry: Cheers TThttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bR_EH8KwINk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wishing2Bfishing 0 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 jeez i dont know if i could be bothered working my jag that hard, i normally just let it sink a bit then wind slowly with a few twitches here and there and i catch my fair share.is he serious about targeting doggies with the live squid? what on earth for, it cant be for the fight, seaweed pulls harder than them. ive always been told they are terrible eating as well, is that not the case?

vxman29 11 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 My favorite and most successful squid jag is the Yo-Zuri Red Head 3.5. Irresistible to squid under the blue light across from the hotel at Port Vincent. Cheers VXMAN29 Caterpillar 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
