Willy,------- I'm not doing it for the cost saving's, Man if I were for doing it for that I'd give up fishing,
I estimate my total fishing equipment including boat in my opinion to be in the vicinity of
$ 18,000 to $20,000
I'm doing it for the satisfaction of it, so I can say to myself "I did it" I designed a jig that is perfect,
there is no way this squid can come off, no matter how hard he try's, he may rip his tenticle's off
in the process, but he just did not fall off, ## Just an up date on the proto type's ## I have decided
on the placement of the jag's on the body, { they are stainless steel by the way }
because of where I've put them, they cannot be in touch with the sea floor at all, so they will have to be
cast and retreive on a float, {varied depth's} or just left on a float and jiggled, once it touch's the bottom
it's byebye jig, this is one of the draw back's of designing an " All Angle of Attack jig"
It's having to make compromise's, it's not such a step back I think? most hook up's are mid water
or just close to the bottom, not on the actual sea floor, the only one's Ive caught on the very bottom
are cuttle fish and octopus, and I'm not targeting them, Cheer's Pete.
