I bought a couple of these garfish-looking squid jigs about 7 years ago, the first time they showed up at the tackle shops. Have to admit they were not much good at all - not a touch or a sniff from the squids. When I changed over to the 'normal' Yozuri-type jigs at the same occasions, the bites came on.



Just as well that I eventually got rid of my garfish jigs by snagging them....

Thanks everybody for your advice.



Many thanks,

The important thing to remember with any lure/jig is this: is it something that is regularly seen and eaten by your target.



People who say Garfish lures are just plain bad are probably using them where garfish are'nt a staple diet of squid. Off course the reverse is true - places with garfish around will probably be better for garfish lures.



Prawn jigs work so well because prawns are common food for saltwater fauna everywhere.



Best bet is, look at what's hanging around your local fishing spot - whether it's potty mullet, prawns or garfish and use an appropriate jig.

The shop staff said they have not had much luck with them. but I agree with the above reply. Use the local food source avaliable for the squid <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blueboxbullet.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ink' /> <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blueboxbullet.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ink' /> <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blueboxbullet.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ink' /> <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blueboxbullet.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blueboxbullet.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
