[quote name='Julesong' post='12283' date='Jul 13 2008, 11:45 AM']As for the squid, they were a bit larger the closer we got to the weekend, but they're generally still about 4-5 inch bodies and only going for the smallish jigs, especially those cylindrical Korean ones (which, of course, I don't have, and my nephew hooked and lost the last of my small Martinetti's on that submerged cable). They're going for pale colors and whites.[/quote]
After a bit of hit and miss searching at various Federal Way Asian grocery stores, I finally found at least one place where some of the regulars at Redondo have been getting their reportedly-Korean jigs. I went into the Pal-Do International Market today (2200 S. 320th St., Federal Way; 253-941-8282 according to [url="http://dwb.thenewstribune.com/soundlife/food/story/6046841p-5306727c.html)"]http://dwb.thenewstribune.com/soundlife/fo...-5306727c.html)[/url] for the first time and after picking up my regular grocery items went to the check stand. I asked the checker if they had squid jigs -- "...fishing! Squid!" *fishing gestures* -- and she brought out two trays of home made jigs. The larger ones were $5.99 and the smaller $4.99. It was the small ones I was aiming for, in pale colors and cylinders and long ovoids.
So anyhow, I found 'em. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> I haven't tried them out yet, but they're the same ones the guys at Redondo have been using with much better success than the rest of us who don't have them. The jigs are obviously home made and not nearly as pretty and sleek as Martinettis, but hey, whatever gets those squid outta the water and onto my line is fine with me.
Thought you'd like to know where they were.
Happy squidding!
