[quote name='glen' post='12905' date='Oct 26 2008, 01:29 PM']Hey Jon, Good to hear from you!!! Thanks for sharing your squid mind reading techniques! hahaha
So what colours and shades are working best for you? If contrast is the key I guess a white jig would be the best over a reefy/rocky sea bed?

Hi Glen and everyone else at Squid world,
I dont have a colour that works well or better than any other but jigs with two strong contrasting colours do seem to be more succesful than mono coloured jigs. Another thing I noticed while on the squid survey was that a combination of jigs that was succesful again and again would suddenly "switch off" for no obvious reason. This has led me to believe that weather conditions, sea state, light/time of day and probably even atmospheric pressure all combine to define which colour or contrast of colours works best.
I have given up on trying to deduce which is best and for what reason and put all my faith in serendipity. Que sera sera!!!
