I appreciate all the tips and techniques. I'm always trying to improve my technique, and even though it's in a location thread it is very topical.
Our schools are very different from the west coast methods, so location and technique are certainly linked.
When I first went squiding, I used large (4") jigs and heavy line (30 pound leader). Sure, I caught when they were in thick but not so much when they were spotty. And there was always that one quiet guy who would be catching when few others could even get a few.
So now I have a way to talk to that guy while we wait for the next drop. I wouldn't have ever, in my wildest dreams, used 4# line on a 2-6# rod. Now I am.
Most of the time my main line is 130# hollow core with 100# mono, unless you look at my Greenstick which is 800# main and 400# droppers.
4# line to me is like the simple u amplified pluck of a violin at a heavy metal concert.
If it bothers you, I apologize. Maybe just unsubscribe until the middle of May?
