Hi ppl,
I'm from Sydney and I'm so addicted to squidding after catching my first squid. As a result, I just ordered Egi rod and reel from online. Right now, I'm using my soft plastic rod and 6lb line for squidding.
Before I go ahead to buy the line, can you guys give me some advice as I am very new to squidding? Below are some background.
- Reel is 2500
- Should i go with 6lb or 8lb line or 10lb?
- Squid jig size 1.8 - 2.5 now, will be buying 3.0 and 3.5 soon
- Mainly squidding around jetty and wharf. When my new egi rod and reel arrived, i'll be going for rock squidding as well.
If I use 10lb line, will I have any problem with casting 1.8 jig? Do you think i'll have problem with 6lb line + jig size 3.5 for rock squidding?
Please help <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
