Soobz 542 Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 How late am I to the party? Well, I figure I won't be the only one so others who are yet to discover the Sephia Flash Boost squid jigs, check them out. Tried one out yesterday, and even in the murky atm Seacliff area (some kind of shore works pumping sand into the cove) and a shit tide it still caught squid when the other lures did diddly squat. Video doesn't do them justice but: yellow door 1, Des, Softy and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MAH 395 Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Which one did you use? Was it one of the nude or was it clot wrapped? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Soobz 542 Posted August 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Cloth, Pink Chart. Apparently the clear 'pink' also good (it's kinda multi colour). At least they are the 2 most popular at TW. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imfishn 50 Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 Yes, I agree with that Soobz, they are great jigs and like you said when all the other jigs showed no interest, the flash boost hooked up immediately. I lost mine at Porties , and had to buy another one, be it they are expensive at around $20. I have the orange/ pink colour. If I see them on special I will probably buy another one in different colour. Softy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MIKECATTS 1,479 Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 Guys.. If you want " different unseen jigs" try Aliexpress.. Some weird and wonderfull ones there... Soobz and Sykes 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Soobz 542 Posted August 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 Aliexpress and Ebay are my most used ones and certainly my 'I don't know this bottom or depth' jigs, as I don't like to lose a $20 jig to a snag. I've tried a few of the more pricey options and they don't fish any better than the $3 ones. But the flash boost is a game changer IMHO, it creates extremely good 'movement' without needing any real movement of the jig. The tiniest vibration, eg. I had it on passenger seat with car engine running, creates a motion that looks like small fish finning. I think the best use for these jigs is the rod holder if you have even a tiny bit of boat/yak wave movement, they don't really need human input and save the casting for the cheaper jigs.

yellow door 1 1,664 Posted August 12, 2022 Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 These are my expendables. The cloth work isnt the best after a few sessions - nothing that cant be glued back in place though. I did check the lead keels and eyelets for straightness and was willing to tweak them back into line but they were all good. A couple got some minor tweaks but I was being pretty picky Truth be known - I originally bought them to use over rough ground - but now I just tie em on and leave em on.

Kelvin 2,013 Posted August 12, 2022 Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 the flash boost looks good. I've yet to try them. I'm waiting for someone to bring back the pheromone skin jigs. I've still got 2 that I'm too nervous to use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wert 442 Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 Holographic tape under the cloth is nothing new, I've got some like that over 20 years old, agree on their day it seems to make all of the difference, sometimes it doesn't, squid can be funny like that. I've had good results with a bit of SP scent on the jag, seems quite effective. Squid really aren't that tricky most of the time though quality jags sometimes make the difference and you can rely on them being up for the job and to work properly. Still reckon a Tommie teaser will outfish anything though. Soobz 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
