Hi Travis, inchiku's are great at this time of the yearespecially, orange is always a great start, but blue, pink are also very popular. Depending on depth you fish, i would always go a bit heavier so you know that you get to the bottom -------------  www.kavemantackle.co.nz

| As Kaveman says they are good colours, if i had to choose i would go pink or orange. I would also take some Kaveman's slider also as they work a treat out in the gulf |

| The actual jig i use many times until the paint flakes off badly. I use new hooksets everytime I fish, they are pretty cheap |

Hooksets need to be replaced whenever they become blunt or skirts become tatty, all depends on quality of hooksets and how many fish you catch on a single hookset tbh. Nothing to catch 20 good fish on a single hookset My hooksets are only $5 per pkt for a 2 pack so cheap compared to others and mine are custom made. I can keep prices reasonable because there are no middle men involved that add 100% per transaction ------------- www.kavemantackle.co.nz

Most skirts to inchiku jigs go through a centre hole in the jig, just a matter of taking off the solid ring at end of the hookset, poking new cord through hole and fitting solid ring back on with 1/2 hitch https://www.kavemantackle.co.nz/product/inchiku-hooksets-2-pkt/" rel="nofollow - https://www.kavemantackle.co.nz/product/inchiku-hooksets-2-pkt/ ------------- www.kavemantackle.co.nz
