No worrys,,it would have been interesting to see what jig won if you both had the same colour .

Never heard about black being a popular colour for squid ATM ,i know black lures are favoured at night,i think i have a black one with a pink stripe buried in my tackle box somewhere,,

Looking at those squid it must be time for another Calamari Classic,,

know a profesinal squid

Fri, 2010-08-27 22:58

know a profesinal squid fisherman who swears by green as the light starts to fade. Me and my mates often have comps both using the same jig but in different colours. So far no conclusive evidience. Seems to some down more to technique than anything else.

My fav jigs now are the pheromone ones that change colour depending on the angle.
