Squid leaders

[fragmeister]

Hi Raiders,

Just interested to know how other raiders rig their squid jigs.

Not having any problems catching them but I am curious what other raiders do.

If I am fishing nylon I just tie it straight to the jig.

If I am fishing braid I just tie a flouro leader to the braid with a couple of locked blood knots.

I don't use swivels, snap swivels etc because I figure it will interfere with the action of the squid jig.

Let me know how you do it.

Cheers

Jim

same as you mate on all points.

I go outside and use 15lb fluoro leader on braid (helps retrieving jigs when they get jagged in the kelp).

Dont have any issues catching em.

Sometimes, if im really lazy i will tie the jg on directly to braid on my lighter outfit (6lb) and still catch em. I figure, to a squid that braid looks like prawn antennae

I use my SP rig which is 6lb braid to 6-8lb FC with a snap on the end. I just switch from SPs or lures to squid jigs. Its worked for me but cant say I have extensive experience

Basically the same, I don't use any swivels or snaps for ease of changing jigs. I run 4lb braid with 8lb flouro leader and a loop knot

I use 0.4 braid with 12lb leader, and 0.8 braid with 16lb leader.

Yes, I do the same sometimes ... but I didn't think about it looking like a prawn antennae though... I like it!

10lb braid to rod length of 15lb fluoro to smallest egi snap.

high breaking strain lines give me my jigs back and we catch plenty of squid with the 15lb fluoro, also like to cast jigs to 3.5 so really its not that heavy.

using the egi snap i can change jigs in 5 seconds (seriously) much better than stuffing around with knots and leader stays same length after multiple jig changes. if it effects action i cant tell and dont think the squid can either.

[SquidMarks]

never heard of an egi snap!

time to google...........

Same here! Thanks Hooked up...will take a look at that.
