Got hold of a MegaBait jiger http://www.extremelures.com/ProductImages/images/livejig/livejigallcolors06.jpg
The Green Mackerel. Was wondering if it is good for barracudas? And suggestions for what it is good?
i do not think so.
jiggers are meant for vertical jigging from boat preferably....although!!!!!!!!!!!...i know people who have used them successfully in spinning.
Such jigs are very good to use as vertical jigging from boats where you can catch bottom predators such as dentici, tracna, burqax...... middle water jigging where you can target plamti, tunnag, sawrell and so on.......
In Malta we do not know much about this fishing method so far but it have proved succesfully in Spain and other Mediterranean countries. There are people in Malta who have experienced very very nice catches using this method but still i think we are learning!!!!!!!!!

:S Don't like Some shopkeepers that (Jitmejlu bin-nies :S) The shop keeper told me they are great for cudas
I will give it back to him tomorow hopefully :S)
they are not meant for such use but as i told you there were occasions where fish were caught using such jiggers as casting lures!
after all you never know in fishing!
Jigs below a certain weight, probably up to 60gr, can be used as casting lures. Vertical jigging requires 100gr+ jigs.

Rob, I have a Megabait like maxxat and they are around 150-200gr so very much a vertical jig. If you were sold them specifically for Barracuda then fair enough, but they are pretty good and a technique we still don't know much about here in practice yet.

Size: 125mm/ Wt.26g

What do you think guz... good for cudas?!?
that's a nice lure for cudas and many other fish!
other fish like what pacebo?
The majority off little tunnys can all be caught from open sea, obviously cudas and much more but they will be rare to catch like, gulley jack (sawrella ta limperjal), Amberjack (Accola). MartinB has even stretched the limit by catching a swordfish from land ! so i think alot of fish can be caught on that lure.
when it is wet it's white belly's color will change a bit and it comes like a rainbow
from shores mainly cudas ..... even plamti and other fish like a lampuka when u are lucky
What i mean is that it is an ideal lure for spinning from shores.
I got the same model but in different colours from Ebay and i caught many fish on it
3 times gone spinning with it... Still none >:(
Tried Near the sirence pool & Veccja till now (St.Paul's Bay)
At veccja i seen some going (taht il-moll) that day and 1nce while getting the spinner back seen a cuda gowing after it.
By Be because there was vopi so it will eat life fish??
more patience...keep on trying
Maybe you're not going at the best time!
what time you sudgest spitec?
Sunset and sunrise are the best ;)
