Squid jigs

 Hey guys just wonder about squid jigs I've always used the cheapys that I pick up for about 2 bucks all ways come through. But sometimes break wanna know what you guys can vouch for as I wanna try an hit cockburn sound for a feed of calamari 

Cheers guys

white jigs kick ass

forget what brand about 25 bucks each...as commented eary yo.zuri ..if you want your expensive jigs to last longer try use clear nail varnish on back and underside off jigs,,dont get on feathers ...they last 10 times longer...

I am hoping to give woodmans

Tue, 2012-06-19 19:21

I am hoping to give woodmans point a go on sunday for some squid and then thinking of using the legs for some kg bait out near rowboat rock.  has anyone had any luck using fresh squid leg on a lead head jig in the same way as a soft plastic???  I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work.

Colours

Sun, 2012-06-24 18:05

When trying the cheap V expensive, they need to be the same colour. Somedays 1 colour will do all the damage, next time it could catch nothing.

Buy 1 of every colour and you should do well..........
