I think my retirement plans have changed. dang. Moo
get some, I was hesitant to reply because Iam too lazy to find a pic of diamond jigs. But just those little chrome diamond jigs you can actually find them at big box stores like wal mart. They will come vacuum sealed in a package. But small
mega baits work fine. I think single hook is good as it damages the bait less. They make Skippy catchers now and you can buy them but all it is, is a torpedo sinker, red eyes, single hook. That's it. Small chrome irons with single hook is good. We would slow troll for the Skippys with small squid skirts with 4 lines out while in the bow casting iron for skippys. Dual bait making.
Once we were full and tuna tubes we still would drag one skipy jig to make bait as we fished the big baits. Change them out and that bait can go from WFO to nada real quick.
I had my little skippy skirt right off the stern and I got smoked by a Wahoo and lost the jig.
. I saw it eat it.
