Check your regulations and see how many squid jigs you can use at one time. You can rig them together 16" aprat or so and add a weight to the bottom jig. Juicyjigs are made so you can connect jigs or weights to each jig. They wrok really well on teh fishing boats.
If you need to use much weight, you will need to use a heavier rod. I would use the lightest rod you can get buy with. The squid are not too shy so do not be afraid of using 15lb - 20lb test. I use 8lb fishing from piers in protected waters. I use the Juicy Jigger™ Squid Fishing rod which has a fast action tip. The squid are a different species than on the east coast and are smaller. A good sturdy, somewhat long rod would work well from a large boat.
Squid fishing is great fun and the rewards are mighty tasty <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' />
Good Luck and show us some photos of the squid you catch.
