Went down around 5am. Wind was dead but there was a fair bit of swell in the water and it was quite murky. Wasn't expecting much but thought it wouldn't hurt to have a try anyway. I cast 2 lines into the water then I got my float on my handreel into the water too.
It all went wrong from there it seems. I reeled in my first line and the jags had been completely ripped off of the jig. Reeled in the second and the exact same thing. Then i pulled in the handline and the swivel it was attached too had been ripped in half.
There was no tension I could see or feel on any of the lines so I'm really confused to what happened, especially with the float.
So 10 minutes after arriving I was walking away because I'd lost all 3 of my jigs.[/quote]
Hey mate,
Seems that these jigs didnt pass the QC, what did you use? you might have just missed a few monster cuttlefish <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />
wooden jigs could be bitten in half by big fish, but if the hook/jags got pulled out then it sounds like the work of a squid or cuttlefish. if you were on the line and felt nothing, the hooks could have just fall out in a cast... and the broken swivel is definitely a indication of poor quality <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> if you still have some of these jigs, try to pull it and see how steady they are (and dont fish with them again <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> ).
