Newbie Question - How To Set Up Line Using Squid Jig?

[Peter Hugill]

squid matt, good to see newbies getting into it! I would start with a very light braid 10lb for a beginner, tie the braid to some 100% flurocarbon leader (if you know how to best to do a bimini twist then tie this to the leader with an improved allbright knot), then you can attach this straight to the squid jig. I like to use the breaden clips to attach to the jigs so if i need to change jigs or even change to a chrome slice for fish i can do so quickly.



As for jigs i would start off with probably a cheaper jig to get used to jigging and jerking the jig about as when you start you might snag up and loose some jigs!



For technique you can float them which works well, drift in a boat, or if your from shore i like to cast into weedy/sandy areas, let the jig sink then give it a few jerks then wind in the slack as your going along.



Hope this gets you started mate!



Cheers,



Pete
