I'll be heading out tomorrow, hopefully I'll latch on to a few squid and kings instead of flounder like last week.
-
i've be reluctant to place an order could you pm me the details off the supplyer
I'd also appreciate it if you could PM me with your suppliers details.

I've found the same.
-
Always fish a 2.5 jig and if I have follows without takes, have a 1.8 on standby on a handline...
That's not a bad idea.
-
I'm kind of disappointed by the lack of different weights in this line of jigs.
-
How do the 1.8 and 2.0 size jigs sink in tidal movement? I've always opted for 2.5/3.0-4.0 to make sure I can get down under any conditions and last week was the first time I've ever lost a jig to a snag.
I've always used Yozuri but they've changed them slightly over the years and now I don't like them, as for Yamshita they seem to have gone the same way as Yozuri.
I've never minded paying for quality jigs but I honestly think that Yozrui and Yamashita have lowered their standards and are now high price for low quality compared to some of the other brands that are now coming in from japan.
Funny thing is that lately I've had more squid grabbing my sp's than jigs, someone really needs to come up with a sp body with a jig you can attach.
It would be a great money maker for them as I had 8 flickbaits, almost an entire packet, ruined last week due to squid.
By the end of the day I was just using the SP to hold them in place and netting them and as they refused to grab any jigs.
I've never known squid to be so fussy, maybe the ones at swansea are just stupid and take anything.
-
What smaller sizes do you use netic? I've never used anything below a 2.5 but I've been looking at the 1.8's and wondering how successful they are.
-
Heaven help Flightmanager if all 7000 ever turn up to a social at the same time.
That would be a sight to see.
-
Johnno could you send me a PM with the name of your local tackle shop? My local had very limited stock and I'm interested in finding more shops with them.
Cheers.

Here are some more detailed pictures that I found, I was going to take my own but the camera has a mind of it's own at the moment.
If you buy them direct from japan they cost $13 each, if they turn out to be the goods I think I'll definitely prefer to pay $8 less per jig.
Shimano should have them priced for say $15 in Australia, they'd probably sell a lot more than at their current price.
Oh and apparently they were a 2005 product in japan and we're only just getting them now.

The Steez reels have a saltwater treatment.
-
The weight on the shimano ones require manual adjustment and the idea is that it allows you to change the sink rate and angle of the jig to suit different types of fishing.
I originally saw the daiwa ones and the idea behind the moving internal weight sparked my interest as it's also meant to work as a rattle but I have to to take issue with them as they have a hole in the external weight that allows you to add extra weight but the jigs don't come with the little weights to add which I personally think is a bit of a rip considering the price you're already paying for them.
I've seen cheaper jigs of similar or better quality supplying the extra weight.
-
I went and grabbed 2 to try out, the 10J (pink/white) and the 09J (gold/hazel).
The only thing I can fault them on is the quality of the barbs as the size, sharpness and overall quality is nowhere near as good as my yozuri's but I'll really only know once I put them to work.
-
I haven't seen them anywhere else but the store I was at today and they only had them in the blue, pink/white and a gold/hazel.
At $21 each though you could easily run into the hundreds of dollars for a collection of varying sizes but I was thinking that if altering the position of the weight changes the rate at which the jig sinks then this design could do away with the need for 2-3 jigs in the same colour and different sizes.
Anyway here's another picture for anyone interested.
-
The only information I could find said they were called the "Dandy" and the japan shimano website's page for them no longer exists.
I found a picture.
If anyone has any information on these jigs I'd love to hear it.
-
I was just at the local shop looking to get some new squid jigs as I lost a few in the harbor during the week and I noticed that shimano now has it's own squid jig out.
They have this device underneath that has the weight on a stainless steel thread and apparently the guy told me that it's so you can control how the jig sinks, head first and fast or belly first and slow.
Has anyone bought and tried them?
I can't seem to find any information on the shimano website either, the packaging was very similar to the new lucanus jigs.
-
Im a big boy maybe I should say some thing.
You absolutely should, I give anyone a blast that's selfishly hogging a pontoon unless they're on their own.
Conditions don't always make the side of pontoons possible and people need to realize that boats can be tied up other ways than putting the boat right along the face of the pontoon.
Two things I hate are people who who take up the entire front of the pontoon with one boat while they stand on the pontoon and talk to people instead of getting their trailer down and boat out of the way as soon as possible and people who tie up to a pontoon and sit around waiting for the other person to bring the trailer down, it doesn't hurt to drop someone off and then go sit out in the water out of the way of everyone putting in or taking out.\
I'm glad I no longer have a 5.3m boat as I'd always have to wait forever to be able to drop someone off, now with the 4.3m open tinnie I can pull up anywhere.
Someone once told me that bolards make good cushioning for bumping the boats of morons out of the way.
-
The problem today is that the majority of people that get their boat license instantly throw out everything they learned the moment they hit the water and people that operate vessels that don't require licenses don't know the basics.
It's cars and bicycles all over again in my opinion.
-
The Lowrance x125 was touted as being an excellent sounder, I picked one up for the new boat and so far it's exceeded my expectations.
-
I haven't seen the new one yet but I honestly don't understand what was wrong with the old one.
The old one was close enough to the water and it was big enough to suit fish of all sizes.
All it really needed was new water outlets.
-
I bet, it's unfortunate that some people don't take better care of their equipment.
-
due to the fact other brands trap corrosion under a film of lubricant
If someone is trapping corrosion with the lubricant they use then they obviously started to care about their reels a little to late.
-
It's disgusting and he deserves to be punished but could you imagine having each jail sentenced applied?
You'd be inside for 18 months and there is no telling what could happen in jail, it's hardly fair to put a persons life at risk due to what he's been caught doing.
Give him the fines I say.

Can I ask what an improved albright is. (I guess I just did)
The Improved Albright involves wrapping both up and down the loop in the leader opposed to just up in the albright.
