 Can u link article please

in the old days they taught us that squid and occies - the cephalopods was a  evolutionary breakthrough for the way the eye developed - similar to ours and not compound like insects and other molluscs etc

they also stated that squid could communicate with colour changes in the mantle and i have seen this diving on the GBR , or behaviour that made sense to me as communication, this might be patterns and colour or maybe just the pattern of the flash.

as for jigs - whatever Da pirate  says - he s the most succesful squidder on this forum at least 

I have been most succesful  with white lummo  -silver with slight pink glow
