Note he does stock Yama, Yo Zuris, Harimitsus, ketstone, and more plus his jigs. if u have a chance to go visit then do yourself a favour. U can find him on FB.
Where would I find his shop? Would I have to buy them on ebay or is there a physical shop?
He's in Clayton/Springvale Just off Westall RD

Yamashita and Sumizoku are nice jigs if you can get them on sale, otherwise the price is hard to justify.
use the rattles at night

Look up Rui Tang on Facebook.
Send a friend request.
He'll accept, then use messenger to sort out the details.
He's a decent bloke, with a massive range of jigs. Make sure you get a red foil black cloth, ripper jig when it gets dark.

Sooooo, decided to try and persuade parents to get me some Rui Jigs on ebay. They said no...
So I went to Southern Sportfishing (a tackle shop in black rock) and picked up 2 5$ jigs. I compared them to my yamashitas and the only difference i found was the angle of the sinking jig, with the yamashitas being around 35-40 degrees and the el cheapos being around 45 degrees. Would this make the difference between squid and no squid?

Nope. Red foil, BLACK cloth.
Might not have it on eBay, but He'll probably have one or two in stock.

Here's a couple worth considering. Free postage should be the deal-maker!!
