[quote name='Kitanosono' post='12326' date='Jul 21 2008, 09:07 PM']Thanks glen. I actually decided to go don the snorkel and flipper and lo and behold I came up with a total of 8 jigs. Looks i havent been the only person squid fishing! Unfortunatley most of them are very rusty.
Im going to try and increase the distance from the jig to the float. Just have to hope that the trevally dont eat them though <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

One quick question is whether or not the hooks for making a jag need to barbless. Ive come a across some small sabiki hooks that i thought might work but they all have barbs and are offset.
using ebay here is abit hard as getting anything shipped out here is expensive and trying to find a seller who would be willing to ship to africa is another task in its self, so thats why im quite keen to make my jigs. Thanks again for the the reply though it is appreciated.[/quote]
for a homemade sabaki you could tie on the lines,hooks and all that junnk and most stores sell glow in the dark or colorfull beads you could thread onto the lines that come off the main line which tie to the hook buy some of that shiny thread tie it on the eye of the hook and buy some 5 gum(its a brand)(shiny foil) the wrappers are shiny and rip the wrappers in half and fold em to the size you want for you sabaki if (its good if they are hard to stick through the hook, stick it through then ive caught lots of perch with shrimp on the hook but you are trying to catch shrimp <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> here at Santa Cruz CA, US you get small red octopus like every 10 seconds on every hook of a storebought sabaki it sometimes even works with no bait on
Good luck ahah scuba diving is a pretty good idea i would do that but the water is muddy and there are a bounch of ray's and small sharks where i fish
