zephi Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 I'm probably going to get some Yamashita's then, they're a lot cheaper than Yo-zuri's.... since a lot of people are having success using them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do yamashita's actually go for $26.5? that's like almost double the price I've seen them at shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monch Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 There are a range of jigs from both yo-zuri and yamashita, some are cheaper models, some are new flashy innovative ones that cost a fortune ie $25+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORBY Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Cheap squid jigs work Ok - sometimes, but for consistent results the more expensive jigs will work better everytime. IMO the Yamashita jigs in natural colors produce the best results, my 1st choice is green/gold & 2nd is white with black stripes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NORBY Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 The Yamashitas naturals are a cloth covered jig. Don't worry about wearing them out - after catching a heap of squid, they might not look as good as they did in the tackle shop, but the squid don't seem to care !
