[quote name='Andy' post='11321' date='May 4 2008, 08:06 AM']Please post what you have done to improve your catch. I start with mine.
1. Change the jig color - I always start with pink (most popular & reliable) then blue, green or white.
2. Change the jig size - change to smaller jig if the bite is picky
3. Use less jig - change 3 jigs to 2 jigs, or just 1 jig if the bite is really picky
4. Move to different location - squid move around, so try find them by moving around
5. Vary jigging speed and frequency, even stop moving sometime - found this info from other site and it works when bite slows down
6. Use flourocarbon leader line - I use 15 lb Yozuri pink flouro. Squid has huge eyes and keen eye-sight.
7. Use softer rod & lighter line - easier to detect the bite, softer rod allows more subtle jigging
8. Bring your own light - attract baits and give you the heart-pounding visual when a whole school suddenly appears from no-where.
9. Ignore all the above when the bite is hot and happens right in front of you (ha ha ha....)[/quote]
