Many guys seem to be using octopus skirts on the assist rig/hook..do you use them or prefer just a swinging hook?

Thanks Titahi.
I have used both with and without skirts...but not often enough to make a call either way.
I see online some guys do, most not...

Exactly what Titahi and Starnsy said!

 Catchalot riddle me this.....
If a swinging hook with out a skirt hits the jig and no none sees it.... does it make a noise?
Conversely if a hook has a small rubber skirt on it and hits the jig  and no one sees it ... does it make the same amount of noise?  me thinks answers in order are :
                                                                       - Yes
                                                                       - No

Use both, have had days when no skirt works and on other days if you havent got a skirt on hook you wont but a bite.
And this is not fishing in never fail spots like Ranfurly and 3 Kings where normally anything works

This is very much a personal choice they both work and both don't work on there days. If you use skirted assists all the time do they catch more? How would you know if that's all you use and vice versa. I personally use them as im a fan of being different to the bloke next to me. But that's just me, why not have both in your jig bag..... never hurts to try new things
