Stupid Tangled Jig D:<

[OwlSquidder]

Lately I've been thinking my jig setup sucks.

 

Been using a yo-zuri on the end of 6lbs leader, (we have tiny squid in Maine) leader is about 14 inches long, swivel, and a couple weights to help it down.  

 

Everytime I pull up I've had my line wrapped all around my jig.  What gives??

 

I've seen some diagrams with floats.  Should I be using that instead?  No weight?  

 

 

Set up:

 

lure~~~~~~~~swivel+sinker+line~~~~~pole

The only thing I attach to my line is my squid jig. What line are you using?

[OwlSquidder]

Probably not the right kind of line I'm guessing.  I've been using monofilament called Triline

[Dyl.C]

That line should be fine to be honest. Don't really know why it is getting in a tangle. Why do you use a sinker? Does the jig not have a weight on it?

I was using a yo zuri jig that's shaped like a little fish, they don't have weights on them so I find them very slow to sink. I just got a few yamashita Q and this really interesting one called a ZZ walk. The yamashita has a weight on it so I'll try that without any added weight and see how it goes.
