The Asian Squid

Absolutely thank you for the advice

It's a 7 foot 2 Medium Heavy Rod paired with a 4500 Reel both from Daiwa

Thanks for the recommendations, the rod is a bit under 8 foot but I think I can manage. Thanks

Was going to head out to the rocks for some pelagics on jigs and was wondering if you could cast a 30 or 40g jig with a 60-120g rod and if so, what are the best jigs for targetting bonnies and kingies. I have 3 jigs all in pillie colours and range from 30g, 40g and 60g. Thanks

Thank you for this response sash, I have definetly gained some info, appreciate the words and I will try some of this advice out of my next squidding session. Thanks

Appreciate all answers. Thanks

Going squidding tonight at on the spit bridge, any tips, places where squid are plenty and also what to look out for?

Sure mate, will give that a try when i get my hands on some local live prawns. Any bait shops near the north shore area selling live prawns?

Thanks Frank, I'll take your advice.

This is the esky that I have

hi guys, I know I’ve been asking a lot of questions lately but that is because I want to get ready and have all the answers for the holidays where I will be fishing frequently. I have a question regarding bait aerators, just wanted to see which ones worked well for you and looking to spent maximum 50$. I’ve got a 25 litre esky that is decently narrow and was looking to slice open a side to create an opening to put the mount in. Yakkas, slimies and squid will be used in here. Thank you guys

Thanks mate, cant really catch live squid and i dont have an aerator either. Any tips on how to catch them using butterflied yakkas, drift it or work it like a lure?

Thanks so Much

Just wanted to know if using half pillies or even whole on a long shank with a half hitch would work to catch Kings, I am landbased and looking to fish in the harbour. Could any of these particularly catch a decent kingy? Thanks guys.

Yes, and thanks Derek, I have just about read all the squidding articles across the community and have gathered some decent information. Any tips on colours for jigs and what conditions to use them for? Plus, is the piers a good spot for squid, and if so which pier? I was looking to head out Sunday to catch some kingies with live squid and butterflied yakkas. Thanks
