adkel53 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hello raiders, Just found some Hinomiya brand squid jigs at an online store. They look the goods and are claimed to sink nice and slowly and not dive head first to the bottom. Has anyone used these jigs and how have you found them compared to the much more expensive (but effective) Japanese brands?? Am tempted to try them but would like some opinions before I do.

Charles78 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 kel ive used the Hino squid jigs in the darker colours and caught squid on them but i still think the old yo-zuri jigs i have in my box seem to work better Ya best bet is to buy just 1 hino jig and give it ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zephi Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 After using yamashita and yo-zuri squid jigs, I swear by these now.. Basically when looking for another brand of squid jig, I look for similar designs. Hinomiya don't look all that great if you ask me.. Those barbs aren't very good, of course they'll still do the job... I found that there's another inferior brand called yoshikawa that has similar design to the yamashita.. They do catch squid, but sink WAY faster. Well you could give Hinomiya a go anyway... Basically the price you're paying for several hinomiya = to like 1 yamashita/yo-zuri squid jig... If they sink right... then you got a good chance of getting some squid. Maybe buy like 1 or 2 yamashita/yo-zuri and compare them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
