SurfcaztR 707 Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 Does the built in rattle sound increase catch rate.Ran one yesterday for the first time but not sure yet as the area was lacking after the first few catches without rattle. doobie 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doobie 5,802 Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 I've never seen any ears on a squid so far But I suppose if the squid are 'on', I'd have a jig with a rattle and one without and see what happens. SurfcaztR 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MAH 437 Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 I've got several jigs with a rattle. Can't say for certain if they make a difference. I normally put a rattle jig on at the start of a session and on several occasions I had a hit on the first couple of casts, then nothing else for the whole session. This suggests to me, if a squid is about the rattle jig gets their attention. I like the rattle jigs by Duel and Daiwa. I have one by Rui that I'm yet to try. I've noticed that jigs are getting a little scarce. The place in Japan I normally buy jigs from has run out of most popular jigs. SurfcaztR 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TENNANT 29 Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 So it looks like they might be able to at least, detect sound. They are known to be very curious, so I can not see why it would not help. https://www.livescience.com/11707-squid-hear-itos-motion-ocean.html#:~:text=Squid can hear%2C scientists have,motion generated by sound waves.&text=Squid have two sac-like,the base of their brains.

Yorky 309 Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 See the youtube link below from Yamashita regarding Squid jig rattle. The video is in Japanese but has subtitles. Most of my jigs are Yamashita's as I like the quality & the technology that goes into the build. I mainly use the rattle jigs when I first get to a spot for a short period then switch over to a non rattle jig unless the water is dirty then I will use the rattle jig pretty much for the session, I'm also a fan of their warm jacket technology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvOVuu_-nZ4 Yorky SurfcaztR and Softy 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
