Hi guys,
I went to St Leonards pier on Friday night. It was pretty cold and miserable, there was a moderate north westerly wind, and the water was quite murky. I fished from 11.30 until about 2am, and didn't catch anything. I think this was because the water was dirty.
I know that a few people think I am crazy to spend so much for these 'premium' squid jigs, but I totally stand behind my decision. In the few times when I have used these jigs in a 'head to head' trial with cheapo jigs, the expensive ones have outfished them comprehensively. If you can consistently catch squid on cheapo jigs then by all means keep using them, but in my opinion the benefits of buying a better quality jig far outweigh the cost.
I bought that jig at JM Turvilles, on Franklin St in the city. They have a great range of different jigs.
