One tip on a Coleman lantern. I painted the undeside of the top with a bright white grill paint. It adds more reflective light downward. Welcome TinPig and happy squidding!

Hi Folks,

I'm new to this site though not a newbie to squidding.

Good tips on reflective white paint, ejburbank. Could you so kind to share the type of paint that you have used successfully?

Also, seemed like the squids were relatively big in past weekend and I've had good success with blue and green, rather thatn hte traditionally hot pink. No idea if it was due to the squid size. Lastly, I did tried the #1 size jigs (1") and no hit at all. Again, it might have been due to the realtively big squid size.

Any thoughts?
