Good to hear these work.

I purchased a 4oz ahi in Green Mackerel at a Sport Chalet Clearance sale for $2.99 a while ago, and I was starting to think they were on clearance because they don't work that well.

When I'm trolling it near the surface, it doesn't look like it has much action.

I've caught Sanddabs with 8oz glow Diamonds!

For what it is worth, go with frozen squid.

Went out on Tuesday with frozen squid and it was wide open rockfish.

Caught 11 species of fish. Kept 5.

Time to go make fish tacos ......

Forgot I started this thread a few months ago! Where did you fish at on Tuesday? I might try Newport again Sunday. Looks like I might be solo. Hopefully the wind doesn't kick me off the water early this time!

Diamond jigs typically don't "swim" like a Tady or Salas. If you want it to swim more bend it a bit in a vise.

That said, I caught two yellowfin on a 2 ounce blue & silver Ahi a couple months ago, straight out of the package.
