Used to use Lucanis jigs but now go for the octa jigs - cheaper and slightly bigger hooks are the only reason.
10-15m - depending on current should need anything to big/weighty.
Attach mine with a decent quality snap swivel for ease of changeovers.
I've got lucanus havn't used them yet, bought octa jigs is it better to tie to jig? got 50lb leader, going out this arvo, wot colour, got pinkie one n greenie.
can tied direct to the jig if you want (loop knot best).
Colour ?? - what ever works on the day
- caught snapper etc. on both pink and green/blue. Start with the pink one and if no luck change over to the green.
I recon what ever you use in that depth, a leftys loop knot and lightest fluorocarbon leader you dare (I'm useing 20lb) is the go, heavy leader n clips n swivels may spook the fish and effect the action of the lure. It doesn't take to long to tie a new one on and you can always rig two rods b4 you go too, let one bounce away n work the other.
Cheers guys, no snapper well black bum on fresh squid head, nothing on jigs, burleyed up with wheat n tuna soaked chook pellets + prawn shells. Had 2 baited rods using scalies n fresh dead yellowtail + fresh squid heads, 2 jig rods with 1 green jig n 1 pink jig tied to jig 50lb leader 1m. 2pm-4.30pm outside reef 40ft not 5fm inside, wind blew up abit to strong for 4.1m dingy, sun down would of been nice. cheers axey.

I ( dont) see red
Last year at coral bay we were gunna kill the ( red) pig on every jig , octa , and plastic known to man.
We had caught snaps , dhuie , wrasse , sambos , baldies etc, you name it on the same things in Perth.
Over the 2 weeks we tryed just about every day up there , but just had to keep going back to bait to land anything decent.
Yes we tryed all the different things you do with plastcs and jigs but to no avail, a mate spent a whole day with them , near
the end of the trip just to prove he could do it, yep , nothing !
Very odd, returned to perth , first day out , bang fish on jigs , plastic etc, must have just been one of those trips aye.

I'd go a soft plastic myself
I'd go a soft plastic myself in that depth but jigs will still catch fish, - probably worth a downsize to the smaller ones though
