Nice post but when your in situation like this I always use a half Oz sinker on the bottom the about 45cm above that Make a dropper loop and attach a clip or small swivel and attach you jig then cast out as soon as sinker hits bottom wind up slack then jig it 2-3times arraticly wind up slack pause repeat it saves you losing jigs and keeps your jigs right above the weed where they live and hide Tight lines

Hi guys rybac I too use this method in deeper water and don't use sinker heavier than a 1 Oz I mainly use 1/2oz Cast allow sinker to hit bottom then wind slack up while at pause twitch your index finger holding your line a couple time to move your jig then pause for a second then 2 or 3 erratic jigs getting that jig darting allow sinker to bottom then wind slack and repeat deadly at rapid Bay ectin water under 15ft no need instead you can buy an attachment for your jigs that slow down your sink rate when in shallow water deadly as Tight lines all

Jags and if used with the technique I wrote up under squid then it don't matter if it a cheap one or a dear one as long as it's right colour as the sink rates don't apply Cheers and share the ink

Hey guys here is a tip that out fishes conventional techniques for squidding as every other tip has been covered but this So firstly you attach a .5 to 1 Oz sinka on bottom of a paternoster rig then approx 40cm attach your favourite coloured jag and then proceed to cast out as far as u want allowing the sink to hit bottom then wind in the slack so your connected to your sinka (like soft plastics) and give 2 quick lifts or jerks then wind up slack an repeat all way back sometime il stop and pause then with my index finger on the line give it 3-4 twitches then continue ,the reason for thi
