Squid Fishing Leader - slayer666 - 12-10-2009

What is the best leader out there that is best suited for squid and is there any particular leader designed just for squid?

Thanks in advanced for any help.

A clear flourocarbon leader will do the job.



Most good tackle jobs will have this gear.



Cheers

i use 6lb for weedy areas and 12lb around rocks

tied with a perfection loop to the jig to give it it's best action

I use Egi leader by sunline , it's a fluorocarbon 100% and it's clear and 8lb.

tie a couple of feet on and tie on a jig and look out squid.

works fine for me.

I also use the sunline Egi Leader. I went to a squid information session last week run by Yamashit and they suggested the leader should be 2 meters in length and they use and "FG Leader Knott" Have a look on youtube its very hard but a thin strong knott.



Cheers,

I just use an albright knot to tie on the leader and a blood knot to the jig, never had it break yet but I have been bitten off by a big squid that grabbed the jig from the front...bastard...lol
