I got myself one of those for Xmas, very cool & makes life tying the FG so much easier. Enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad deal 😁 Nice selection of natural colours, Adrian, good value, be interested to know how the black & white one goes 1 hour ago, FishyMcFishFace said: ordered the shimano sephia 20 jig shoulder/waist bag and 15 yammies from somewhere else. Only fiddy bucks! Can feel some big Calamari and lots of bait for Kingies on it's way! 🤟 That’s a super deal works out at about $3.33 per yamashita jig & a egi bag thrown in for free 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oranges, Pinks, Rainbows and naturals. I'll be getting one of those shimano sephia Egi bags 👌 I just love having parcel in the mail 😂 I'll be feeling more organised and ready which surely means I'll catch more 🎣 😉 Cheers for the tips lads Don’t under estimate the sutte-r’s cause they’re cheap. They do quiet well. Most of the jigs I hold these days are sutte-r’s. If anything I’ve outdone other jigs with sutte-rs. Probably colour and retrieve is more important 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishyMcFishFace Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 Check out this colour chart for choosing jigs its awesome! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob81 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Don't get caught up in those charts. Probably more marketing hype to say "We know what we're doing". Each session will be different. For example I went one spot, changed jig around until I found the one that worked (more natural colours - Eg. Green, light brown), got 5 on it and then it stopped so I changed to a similar colour and got another 4. Following week I came back to the same spot, the conditions were pretty much the same, same swell/wind/water colour, roughly the same time so lighting in both cases was just night, and those colours that worked the week before did nothing. This time being brighter colours, the Oranges, reds. Maybe those charts work in Japan, but I find here each day can be different so ideally you should have a good mix amongst the ones you bring out with you. Also the other part, most people worry about sizes, but I tend to use 3.0-3.5s and have caught squid half the length of my jig. I've heard up rivers the smaller 1.5-2.5s may do better depending on location but my setup isn't ideal for those sizes so I cant test that theory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 There is a Diver on G'Tree who found a heap of lures two days a go. Worth a look. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishyMcFishFace Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 This just arrived in the post it's absolutely awesome but that strap is just for carrying around, it's not a shoulder or waist strap lol. 😂 I could maybe get some webbing and make something up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingie chaser Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Nice. Some anchor chain & nylon rope. Whatever it takes 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob81 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 You can buy some straps for cheap and use that to go around your hips. They have clips on the sides so can be easily modified. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grunt 1m pull tie down fits around my waist and it's a canny colour match to the bag! 👍👌 Edited March 5, 2020 by FishyMcFishFace 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
