Stupid Tangled Jig D:< - OwlSquidder - 12-08-2014 Lately I've been thinking my jig setup sucks.   Been using a yo-zuri on the end of 6lbs leader, (we have tiny squid in Maine) leader is about 14 inches long, swivel, and a couple weights to help it down.     Everytime I pull up I've had my line wrapped all around my jig.  What gives??   I've seen some diagrams with floats.  Should I be using that instead?  No weight?       Set up:   lure~~~~~~~~swivel+sinker+line~~~~~pole Stupid Tangled Jig D:< - Dyl.C - 14-08-2014 The only thing I attach to my line is my squid jig. What line are you using? Stupid Tangled Jig D:< - OwlSquidder - 15-08-2014 Probably not the right kind of line I'm guessing.  I've been using monofilament called Triline Stupid Tangled Jig D:< - Dyl.C - 15-08-2014 That line should be fine to be honest. Don't really know why it is getting in a tangle. Why do you use a sinker? Does the jig not have a weight on it? Stupid Tangled Jig D:< - OwlSquidder - 16-08-2014 I was using a yo zuri jig that's shaped like a little fish, they don't have weights on them so I find them very slow to sink. I just got a few yamashita Q and this really interesting one called a ZZ walk. The yamashita has a weight on it so I'll try that without any added weight and see how it goes.
