    octo jigs

    hi all

    have seen these jigs in the tackle shops for a while now and am just wondering if any1 has used them and had any success,they look like they would work and am thinking this could be another option while fishing offshore,

    I saw them being used on Ifish, or ET or some other show in Arno Bay one time for Snapper with what look good success,but it was for a fishing show. Kmart has them starting at $14.

    They work fine on Snapper. The downsize is the cost everytime you hook the bottom. They are good to put a heavy one down and just deadstick it just above the bottom while you sink your plastics at a much slower pace. I seem to get a lot of bumps that don't hook up even though there are two hooks in the skirt

    Probably due to the tiny hooks they come with - Have you tried upgrading to see if that makes a diif?

    To make offshore session more successful i have the following options.

    1. bait and live bait
    2. soft plastic
    3. knife jiggs
    4. octi jigs

    All are loaded on the boat just in case. You have have days where the fish will only grab pilchards and nothing else.

    Rosco must be time for an offshore trip soon. Gee this weather is annoying.

    Must be mother natures way of green zones.
