Brighton pier and surrounds - VIC - masejess33 - 04-05-2010
yamashita, you zuri are becoming a thing of the past.
megabass, gesola and others are taking the squid jig market over.
so yamashita had to do something and they come up with the egi o live, noone has used them here is aus yet from what i can gather but from what plat and samurai tackle say, they are great ......
who knows, when the squid are on the bite they will eat anything..
rocksy you gona throw a baited jig out tonight?
Brighton pier and surrounds - VIC - fonzi - 04-05-2010
I am definately gonna get me one of those yamashita live jigs
Brighton pier and surrounds - VIC - rocksy - 04-05-2010
i just woke up and it just took me 5 mins to work out that it wasn't 4:30am... running a bait and a jig might be too much for me tonight.
Yo-zuri seriously need to re-launch the flashdancer, but with a brand spanking new colour range... and make them in a 2.5. The gesola jigs are next on my hit list i think... but no one has got them.

what do we all think about the yamashita squid rods?
fonzi $15 for a flashdance...
Brighton pier and surrounds - VIC - rocksy - 04-05-2010
the Yamashita guys use Graphite Leader <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />:I think they are to light for the bigger jigs, could be wrong though.

Also, whats the deal with Gesola, it seems to be an american company with an australian sub company both under the River 2 Sea name.
Brighton pier and surrounds - VIC - masejess33 - 04-05-2010
ahahah there you go.
i held one tody, seemed very liht and flimsy
Brighton pier and surrounds - VIC - masejess33 - 04-05-2010
river 2 sea is cheap rubbing?
Brighton pier and surrounds - VIC - rocksy - 04-05-2010
no idea, i've never heard of them. they make a few lures some of the bream guys like.
Brighton pier and surrounds - VIC - masejess33 - 04-05-2010

I have the Yamashita squid rod and the Shimano Sephia BB squid rod and both are good but the Yamashita is a much lighter rod. Both arround the $350 mark if buying in Australia and half that from japan.
There is te gladiator and from what I have seen and read they are a cheap rod and tend to break very easily.
Breaden rods are now avaliable here and they are a step above again and so is the price range..
But overall if your startign out the Yamashita rods are great.
I have decided my next rod will be GraphiteLeader rod from Japan and they seem to be the best on the market. but that price range doubles again.
Brighton pier and surrounds - VIC - kgakoh0 - 05-05-2010
i was in fishing feve today and they have the gesola jigs.
The yamashita rod is very light indeed. squid rods are made to be very light so you can jig hard and when you hool a squid its light enough not to pull the jig through the squid. The graphite leader rods are about 100g in weight and feel very flimsy but they at 100% carbon fibre so very strong.
On a totally differnet topic does anone use air pressure (barometer) as a guide. I have read differnet artices saying that an increase in pressure makes fish and squid stomachics feel full and not feed as they are very sensitive to pressure changes. Im startign to log the pressure vs my strike rate and will see if there is a trend.
daily pressures can be accessed via BOM

yeah i was reading up on it the other day Kim.
It's more noticeable in freshwater from what i can gather. But if i read it correctly the fast falling or rising can stimulate a feeding response but once it levels out and stays low or high they go quiet. Something to do with them going into deeper water to level out the pressure. not sure if its an extended low that can be bad for fishing, i might have read it wrong...
i also just pulled this from a bookmark.
