    Kelvin reacted to Wert in Best 3 Jigs   
    My colour preference is basically the same as Kelvin's, Green being my favourite since I caught my first squid on a green jag 35 odd years ago and literally thousands since.
    MAH's selection wouldn't make me sad either, indeed I'd be confident of cleaning up with what he picked and the 3.0 size is the most versatile in my opinion also.
    As mentioned squid are pretty easy most of the time and will take any quality jag but small natural colours can make the difference in touchy squid in clear water and large bright ones seem better in murky conditions, some glow definitely seems advantageous at night.
    Somewhat counterintuitively black also can be great in lowlight or murky conditions, the theory (I first saw 35 years ago in fishing mags RE night fishing for bass in NSW) is black creates the best silhouette, I was not a believer until I got stuck with a mates black sephia similar to Kelvin's second from bottom on the right in the yak selection, absolutely destroyed 3 other guys 2 to every one between them over 2 days in murky conditions and at night on various jetties both sides of YP so I'm now a believer and have never looked back.
    I suspect that the same would hold for your YFW if it was murky or if you were mad enough to have a crack at night.

    Here is the jig wall under UV and then with the lights off
    Interestingly UV does not equal glow

    UV is not a bad thing but I've done well on Tuna lures that did not light up under UV and alot of really good squid jigs have minimal UV.

    Bottom right is the brightest and works great off the jetties at night.

    No worries Des
    Squid are much easier than Yellowfin whiting
     
     
     
    At night any jig that glows works well for squid. The brighter the jig the better it seems. I just have a play with my UV light and pick the brightest glow

    Honorable mention and if I could have a fourth pick it would be a light or white colored jig. I like to throw this if it is bright or if there are alot of baitfish around.
     
    I would include the white with redhead in the same group. I haven't done that well with the red head but have seen my mate clean up fishing next to me with the white and redhead jig.
     
    Finally at night I like a glow jig, lots of options here.

    No 3 has to be a bright orange or pink jig. Any of the good brands work. This is a searching jig for overcast, dirty water or rough conditions. The key is to cover lots of water quickly and find the squid

    No 2 pick, especially in the Brighton area would have to be a fluoro green yellow
     
    My favourite is the size 3 Yo Zuri on the top, but the Evergreen, DJP, Yamashita and original Yozuri Aurie Q in the same color all work.
    This jig will work most conditions, low light or full sun, but it depends on the day.

    Thats a hard one. I rotate jigs every trip and have different favorites each season and also as the season changes.
     
    The last 12 months this jig has dominated with 40 of the last 50 squid caught on a size 3 Shimano Sephia clinch flash boost. Color seems to matter as I've run this jig head to head with the same size and style jig in a slightly darker pink and all the squid have gone for the favourite

    Googled earthed a possible redfin hole today - it wasnt smooth sailing trying to find an access point - and that theme continued for the short session.

    Forgot the Mirage drive - Got my balls wet getting in and discovered I have no idea how to use my new sounder. (Not completely my fault - the stupid thing has a feature where it turns the transducer off for some reason - and I could fix it on the water no matter how many random buttons I pressed)
