Ah Jaz Im gunna make you get upset now LOL
25 bucks for a jig your nuts
I brought two pink jigs in a twin pack from BigW for $3.98 yep thats right not even four bucks. the barbs are of good quality not flimsy and are coated I lost one when I didnt close the clip properly and I only lost 2 bucks not 25.
Squid cant tell how much you pay for a jig and I have found that the cheap ones last just as long as the expensive ones, they all rust at the eyelet where you put the clip through eventually I have never paid 25 bucks for a jig although I have been given a few expensive ones I find their action and the way the sit in the water are no different than the most expensive one even though the makers state different with yo zuri challenging the angler to compare the way one of their jigs sit in the water compared to any other brand, my expiriment found no difference at all. Mate when you can catch squid on a paint brush handle painted white with a few barbless fish hooks tied to the end or a jag with tin foil wrapped around it then what you pay for a jig just dosent come into it. Its all color and even that theory is a bit on the nose because squid are only supposed to see in shades of grey so how they tell blue from green or pink from red is anyones guess I think it might have to do with what shade of grey they see, ATT GLEN if you can add some light on this theory please do but I saw a doco on squid and the marine biologist stated that they only see in shades of grey so this might blow the color theory right out the water so to speak, with all my expirience I still cant work this theory out
