[quote name='mino_401' post='15375' date='May 23 2009, 03:28 AM']ok guys here's the deal... if you want to catch them you'll have to stay very late into the night and early early mornings... i was out from 10 pm to 4 am to catch a half bucket... i lost as many while trying to reel them up... word to the wise... learn from my mistake... a fisherman is only as good as his fishing line... i bought some cheap line and the line memory was horrible... it would tangle up in my spooler like crazy... ERRRR!



oh these squid are very very smart as well... i was able to observe them gently touching the jig's hook and realize that it was not a live bait and just scoot out... unbelievable![/quote]





You get what you pay for! NEVER EVER EVER cheap out on line. Its one of the worst things you can do.



That being said, i almost exclusively use 4-6lb fluro on lite to ultralight tackle with small jigs. Its the key for finicky squids. we'll see how it pans out for me tonight. I'm also going to bring a heavier spinning combo w/ probably 10 or 12lb mono for snagging ...just in case <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':angry:' />



Tight lines and have a safe /fun weekend everyone!
