[quote name='bloggs' post='7646' date='Nov 17 2006, 02:54 AM']Do u need a fishing rod to catch squids?! Can you fish for them without using a fishing rod?! If yes, how do you do it?! How will I cast the line and how will I pull it back?! Thanks a lot![/quote]
Acturally I had success with handline more than fishing rods recently. Dont know if it was my lucky day, a few days a go i went squiding from shore with my handline (for easy transportation) and there was about 10 people there all with rod and reel. There were only 3 squids caught, and i got 2 of them with my handline <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' /> I think maybe it was because the jigging/retrieveing motion for handline is slightly different for rod/reel, which makes it more attractive for squid?
