ADAM, I to am embarking on a prototype squid jig, I have started with wooden model's, they are 15 cm
long, I'm still working out the dynamic's part of it, buoyancy, swimming action, that sort of thing, hence my
curiosity as to how a squid attack's it's prey, I have a few idea's on barb placement, but haven't fully
decided yet, but what work I have done already is looking good, it should be ready for field testing soon,
the next thing I need to do is choose the colour, this I feel is very important, it might be the greatest jig on
earth, BUT,------ unless the colour is right, it may not give the result's as to whether it work's or
not, if I can't get any taker's I won't know, if I can design a jig that will hold a squid tight, and there's no
way he can spit the jig, { read = let go, or by ripping his own tenticle's off } then I will have succeeded,
I still don't know what to call the proto type jig's ? EG; SG -1, +SG -2 and SG -3 ?
{ Short for "squid jig" not stargate ! } I'll post my result's on this board when I have completed my project,
I have just gone over my center consul and done all the prep work ready for the new season,
new battery's, flare's, bildge pump's, engine service ect, so I'm looking forward to the testing ahead,
cheer's Pete.
