sbarnden 397 Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Watching some video's of asian jig fishers and noticed that one of them had a very interesting deep water squid rig setup. Rig at about the 3 minute mark. Instead of using extra chin weights, head-cap weights or a paternoster setup for a deeper drop they have attached a small metal jig without any hooks up the line at the swivel. Would double as both an assist weight to get the jig to the bottom and a flasher to send out extra flash to attract squid. There are plenty of times I've been alerted to squid in the vicinity by plugs on my metal lure like a halco twisty so the metallic flash is a definite attraction. Don't really get out deep enough to target squid with a rig like that but something to keep in mind to try if I do get out there. Anyone try it before? bjorn2fish, David_C and rotare 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snapperhead 523 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 I was watching ET yesterday and he was fishing wide out of Arno bay in deep water and they were attaching a squid jag to their whiting lines above their hooks. It seemed to be working well with them getting both species on the one outfit. Im sure it work here too in our gulf. Ive just got to get the boat trailer done so I can get out cheers snapps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
psari 19 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Works great out metro, been using something similar to that idea for years, out fishes 3 to 1 All my fish buddies have gone the same way now Few years back tried a rig similar to paternoster and was bringing up double header squid In shallow water you could see the squid attacking the sinker as well Give it try ...youll be surprised at the results Quote Link to post Share on other sites
