Hi all, my first post on these boards.
I'm living in NZ & recently I got to see some DVD's made by one of yours, Brendan Wing ( Winga).
There was a fair bit about catching squid so I got interested.
I'd never targeted squid 'till then but had my first "expedition" last night.
Nothing to report, not even a nudge but I'm keen and will persevere.
When I purchased the 3-4 jigs I own, the shop assistant persuaded me to buy a flashing green light.
It's about 5 cm long & the mainline goes through a line feeder arrangement.
There are a couple of protruding pins at the back end & when they come into contact with moisture ( water) the thing starts flashing, stops when dry.
The blurb tells me it's good for approx 100 hours use so that's pretty impressive.
It was great for knowing where my lure was on a dark night like last night, also looked pretty groovy to 3-4 other guys who saw it in action.
My mate ( another newby) wasn't so impressed & kept his distance, reckoned it would scare everything in the water including squids.
My question, is this a recognised method or should I dump the thing?
Thanks in advance,
Bill
