G'day Glen and squidboy.
I float a baited jag often with success, I call it my stealth bait.It 's running off a hand line while I cast my artificial jigs, and can look after itself.
I set it up as follows:
Main line connected to a leader of 20lb with swivel. then the length of line required for baited jag depth with the free running float(with or without glow stick) at the end of the line is a snap swivel for easy access for on and off removal of jag. The 2 swivels are bump stops for the float. When I cast, the bait and float are right next to each other and casts well, once it hits the water, the bait sinks to the depth set by the 1st swivel.
I always use heavier line with a baited jag, there's more than squid out there that will eat a silver whiting <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' />
Andee
