Haven't been out yet. Newbie here. Just got jigs in mail. does useing a snap swivel make a big difference in jigging or should I not use one. Figure it would make for quick and easy changes at night. Thank for the help, and hope to see you guys down at GI reel <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

I dunno guys, I went nuts a couple years ago and was using tiny three way swivels and it didn't stop me from catching three at a time when they were running. I stopped only because I was wasting too much time tying them on.
I have also been using about 4 inches of line off the main line to the lures, but I am thinking that it is too much and causing some rats nest tangles that results in the teaching of my daughter all my Italian swears. (Good thing her mom's side doesn't understand any).
The other thing I like to do is run lighter test line to the sinker, by a few pounds. This "Break-away"rig may lose you more sinkers, but you can get 50 for the price of a jig.
If they run like they did in 2008, I expect to fill the freezer again.
I was the hero as we had calamari every family gathering for nearly a year. Nice meaty flavorful tubes.
Hardly any small ones.
Anyone headed up from CT?
I am thinking of heading up and camping out for a couple of days if anyone is interested.
I've only an extra seat in the S-10, but welcome the company and splitting the fuel, and toll.
See you all up there soon!
Time to GET INKED!
