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

[squidmatt]

Cheers Pete. I just checked my line, the line is 15lb and the shockleader is tapered from 20lb to 60lb.



I'm guessing that I would be best off changing the line when trying to squid, using just 10lb line and a 20lb shockleader?



Is a shockleader required when trying for squid as you're not going to be casting hard/heavy weights? Or is it just to protect the line from the squid?



Also, would I be okay using a small spinning rod when trying for squid?





Thanks again.
