RPL Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Hi all, Can someone please show me how to rig gulp squid i picked up a pack yesterday they looked like they would go real well on kings or jews if i crossed them, these ones are like 4' or so Question, are they meant to be casted or just jigged. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkymalinky Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Gady' RPL, I've caught a few fish on them rigging them just like with a 'normal' tail with a weighted jig head. I've used 1/8 - 1/4oz Berkley and TT heads. Just fish them like a squid would swim... either a lift/wind and pause or a slow roll (a bit of rod action is needed to get the tentacles to dance a bit though). I got the $^*# with them though because the squid's 'wings' always end up bent out of the packet which gives them the tendency to spin unless fished dead slow.

Cheers, Slinky Slinky have you caught any Kings on them?? I have always wondered weather they work? they certainly look the part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not caught but I've hooked 2 jigging the Gulp squids around markers in the harbour... inevitably, they now decorate the chains Caught tailor, salmon, snapper (little blokes) and plenty of reef ooglies before I got the dirts with using them spinning so easily.

I recon you would clean up if you dove down there, problem is you would probably get knocked out on someones 10pound downrigger bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
