[quote name='floatie' post='18573' date='Apr 23 2010, 01:45 AM']Man that jig looks intense! Good stuff![/quote]
We are calling it the "Buffaloe Bill" rig, after the chap that liked to make suits out of women in silence of the lambs. It is a spratt skin (sprattus sprattus) wrapped around the jig and held on with elasticated thread. It seems to make a difference in daylight takes of about 2 to 1. I'm wondering if squid dont "feel" with their tentacles as well as sucker things with them, and the skins make them more confident, as you are more likely to hook your squid in the solid stuff by the beak when using them. rather than tentivley on the end of a tentacle, which is often the case with a non-buffaloe billed jig!!
