I am wondering anyone uses baitcasting setup for squid jigging. I have spinning setup and it's easier to jig the rod using right hand while cranking with left hand. But I also bought a Daiwa sweepfire baitcasting rod (only $10 from Capitol NYC) which has a softer fiberglass blank and produces much better jigging action (more like a flyrod). Since fishing from the bridge/wall you don't need to cast too far, I figure a baitcasting setup is much easier to release the line into water.
