Newport Ri 2014 Squid Season

[Anthony0803]

@1tym My intention here was not to get into a this jig is best kind of thing. It was to make people aware of the technique they were using might be counter productive to the jig they were already using. I have seen countless people at jamestown using these nice shiny new yamashita naory jigs and tie a 4oz sinker to them. Many of these jigs are designed with a specific sink rate in mind and to tie weights to them renders their design useless. Someone mentioned always getting stuck in the rocks at James town. I have seen this happen to many people, these jigs are expensive and I'm trying to make people aware of the technology they have built into their jigs. I did not loose 1 jig all last year and I pulled in well over 100lbs of squid. Most people are not aware that squid bite when their jig is falling and to get one to bite a jig with a 4oz weight attached to it requires the squid to be in the exact right place to hit it on a 2 sec fall. I see many people spend hours on the dock not catching anything while I'm reeling them in 1 after another, my goal is for all of us to share our knowledge so we all can catch more squid. With that said I do feel the jigs I have mentioned allow for a nice balance of sink time in our waters and without a weight being needed people won't have to worry about getting stuck on the bottom. Will other jigs do this? I'm sure they will. I'm just sharing what has worked extremely well for me while others were having trouble.

Peace
