i would go for "medium expensive". you shouldn't have to pay more than $8-10 AUS. anything more is a waste i think. or better still take up snorkelling and never buy a jig again! :-)

The cheap ones do work, no doubt about that, but on days when they are a bit picky, the expensive ones will win out - you dont pay good money for nothing!
SA - the land of the bigger fish. The fish on the east, measure the least, but if you head west, you'll be bringing in the best!!

I only use the real cheapies. I believe they work just as well especially when spinning. They also spare passers by the spectacle of seeing a grown man cry after they have just lost a $25 jig!

I think expensive squid jig can catch more squids.
One night I had been fishing for long time before my friend came. He did not spend long time to catch 6 pieces while the whole night I caught 2.
I am using the cheapy jig I bought from Warehouse, plastic finish without cloth.
But I also believe to bait up the jig with pilchard could be another reason my friend cuaght more.

i would definately say expensive i have had superior luck with the yo zuri even if it has cost me a fortune. i have bought some Mako generic jigs for 10$ and they are packageed almost exactly the same as the yo zuri shrimp hunter and i will be trying them tonight. good squidding all
Remember you cant keep all of the squid happy all of the time, only some of the squid some of the time...
